That's just a defeatist attitude Boris
The front fairings can be made to fit but it's a lot of work. He could use a TZ250 race seat unit to replicate the SP rear end.
So is pissing in the wind ... you can make it work if you try hard enough
The 3TJ is shorter at the headstock you'd have to cut and shut it and that would loose the proportion of the fairing.

I honestly was not being lasy . i have been searching high and low. the project dosent start for another 3 weeks or so . so i got loads of time .
the reson for wanting to change is because i love the look of the triangle head light . weather its a 600 ,400 or even on the 1000 . its the front end that i want for my bike but NOT theback end lol . as seen here on a 3tj with r6 rear
i know that it will not be a direct fit but wheres the fun in that .
it might be hard to tell in my pictures but my bike has been totaly butchered so even if i get the right fairings they will take just as much work .
i thought mine was a wg1 because it is stamped both on the engine and frame ...
i have managed to find some fairings localy but thay are not cheap in my book . im looking at about 415 USD for top and front sides

A bit rough but this is from FZR600 3HE, I think this is a 91 92, the good news is this will bolt onto your bike with the standard fairing lowers. I'd fill the air intakes with indicators.
The 3TJ headlight will fit (they're not a very good headlight though.
You'll need to get these -

Yes you have a 1WG, all the bikes up to the 3en2 are 1WG then they're 3TJ ... although the 3TJ engine is stamped 1WG

I'm having some of those Akai fairings for my 3EN2 4/6...
I've just ordered some Akai race fairings

Would love to hear feedback on this seller Kayla as I will be ordering a set of fairings for my 3LN FZR250 from them later this summer. Just getting all the rest of the bits together to make a decent job of it (which meant getting another one!)
If you get stung for VAT or have probs - or don't! Would appreciate knowing!!!!

No probs. I'll probably get stung for import duty on them, but even after adding £100 or so on it's still a good value set of fairings with a cool paint job for around £400.

You might be able to claim some of the tax back as a company

If the seller hasnt already sent them it might be worth asking him to mark the box as 'sales samples' with a negligible value?

I can claim the full amount back as a tax deductible expense as the bike is owned by the business
