The Dunlop D205 tires were enough for me to not care about the bike, but the led clusters front and rear look like the same things that were used in Close Encounters of the Third Kind to communicate with the aliens.

With that headlight, and those mirror choices, I could see the lights being needed in the event that ET shows up and think he's sexually molesting his uncle.

The front end reminds me of the Queen alien in the alien series. Not my cup of tea, but then again to each his own.

So I guess this guy's attempt at drumming up a sale with this crowd is failing...

Everything subjective... and we know this is a picky crowd.

I like:
The retro gauge shades
Paint

Don't like
The big nut things holding the mirrors up.  Looks out of place and awkward.
Paint on the cans.  The rest of the paint is nice and clean. The duc circle is splotchy and the eadges feather like the masking wasn't right.  IT clashes more since the rest of the paint is so nice and clean
Rubber tie downs for the fairing bit.  Looks out of place - perhaps there's a better solution

Add/Change
I agree about the seat cowl.  All monsters look a bit off (to me) w/o the seat cover.

- And why does it have a square oil cooler?  I thought 02 had the round style...

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

That nut is an adapter for the Rizoma mirrors to work with the reverse thread mirror mount...

I've seen a Desmosedici with what I thought were LED arrays front and rear, ended up being the radar detector laser sensors.

I agree with DDGM.  You did ask for opinions, but holy crap!  You added 4 things, took off 2 and modified 3.    Oh  Oh  Oh, then you're choice of tires... Is that guy F'n kidding?   
 

"Queen alien in the alien series",   "Close Encounters of the Third Kind to communicate with the aliens",  "ET shows up and think he's sexually molesting his uncle".

Put down the Cheetos & your crusty Victoria's Secret catalog fellas.

Let's see your bikes.

It's got its own thing going.

And I can dig that.

sorry, not feeling it.  It looks slapped together and awkward.  In my opinion not a streetfighter. A Streetfighter needs Performance mods and drastic changes. And you loose EVERYTHING thats not absolutely necessary

I will be polite.

I do not like it one bit.

Now I will be honest.

That thing is FUGLY.

I REALLY want to see your bike.
