    Believe me, the turbo seca is FUGLY when it has no fairings on it. The headlight bracket and gauges stick out, and the gas tank looks alien compared to the normal tank. You would have to do some MAJOR customization to make it look anything decent. Sorry I don't have a picture, I usually don't want anybody seeing my bike when it's in a fairing-less state!

    Well what i meant is I'm considering turbo charging my reg seca 650. Just wondering how it might look, and if it is possible to hide some of the things needed.

    Are the frames the same?? It might be a really tight squeeze to get everything to fit in that frame, You will have the surge box, the fittings that go along with them, the airbox, the tubes that go to and from the turbo to the airbox, a place for the turbo to be bolted on and the turbo exhaust?? Its a pretty large undertaking to go from a N/A 650 to a turbo. I do not know of anyone that has done it but anything is possible :)

    I can tell you from having both bikes in question that it is a lot of work to turbo charge the normally aspirated Seca 650. To get everything located and mounted on the Turbo seca is a pain and it has all the brackets and tabs!

    I'm sure you can do it but expect to spend a lot of time doing it.

    [Edit: I liken this to making your 2 wheel drive truck a 4 wheel drive truck]
