It is more of a watered down sport classic in my opinion (just my opinion) but could be changed a bit if you wonna more streetfighter look.

Things to do to spice it up will depend on your taste and what you wonn achieve, for me I am into the minimalistic and somewhat streetfighter/Alien look.

I would,

Shorten the front guard, front and back, colour is good.

Add a hugger, again short and coloured, feature it!

You have (again only in my opinion) a little too much visual weight with the thickness if the rear seat sub assembly, dunno how to soften that tho.

Shorten the pipes a bit for more mad max look.

Now that I have probably pissed you off what is the model answer? oh and BTW I am assuming it is your bike?

You could paint out the lower portion of that seat assembly. And ditch that handle on the back..w-t-f is that for? Maybe you or someone could photoshop that a litle.

Oh wait, you didn't ask for suggestions, did you....

Ok. I like it...

That's nice! That frame looks a lot like my '90 750 Sport, but the tail definitely reminds me of an early (92 or so?) Supersport.

Started out as an SS, right?

Don't worry about it. I never saw it the first time around. If I had, I would have said: "No, to make it better, put the SS fairings back on it and the proper front fender".

As previously stated, SS's have a tubby rear end that unbalances the look when the front fairings are removed. The best way to cure it without removinga and re-doing the subframe is to make it back into a classic SS.

Other than it looking a bit dated, I like the idea. If it were mine to design I would add a solo tail section from the Superlight (they also offered it as an accessory for SS), some evil looking exhaust painted flat black with an even more wicked sound and possibly some slightly lower bars to complete the cafe racer look!

Default lose the mirrors

i'd lose the tail side panels... they go great with front fairing but not so much without.

i ditched the moster front fender for a superbike version... 'cause the monster fender offers zero fork slider/seal protection.

that handle on the rear is the perfect accoutrement for putting the bike on a rear stand...
