I've removed the seat and cut the rear sub-frame off past the shock mounts. I've also put the 19" front wheel from a GSX550 on in place of the standerd 18" job. I think tyre/wheel size make a big part of how a bike looks. The 3.50 x 19 Mitas tyre at the front has a lot more rubber than the original 100/90-18 job. And that ugly tank is gone.
