Putting in a new head fairing
Hi. Has anyone ever tried to put a head fairing from Yamaha YZF600r into FZR400? I found this picture on the internet and must say it looks real nice.

Re: Putting in a new head fairing
That top fairing is from a ThunderCat the 600R has the two Foxeye lights.
Lots of people mess about with bodywork and to be honest .... it all looks a bit naff. When you see it in a picture it might be ok from one angle but then not really work from another. Finally when you consider the time and effort involved it's not worth it. Have a look at how high the bars are for a start ....
I realise this is the first big bike and you probably want it to be a MotoGP M1, but it isn't and the money you'll spend on it trying to get it looking that way as I said before can be better spent somewhere else, or just put into saving for a better bike.

Re: Putting in a new head fairing
The Thundercat is formally called the YZF600R, the foxeye model was the FZR600R. Unless you're in the states when both were YZF's.Evilchicken0 wrote:That top fairing is from a ThunderCat the 600R has the two Foxeye lights.
