600rr panels?

[DK-Tandy]

with my interesting of turning a CBR400RR NC23 into a 03/04 CBR600RR look a like.. do the fairing brakcets line up or are custom brackets needed?

think you will find you will need to fabricate nearly all of the brackets to make the fairing fit. i have for my nc30 with 600rr panels, unless you are putting the panels onto the bike they were made for there will be some fabrication required*

*there will be some exceptions, 954 fireblade body fit directly onto a 929 blade - however the frame is the same, it is only the cc of the bike that really differs the majority is the same.

ok thanks :)

what is best to use to make the brackets?

[pugparcels]

depends on budget & the tools you have to fabricate them, i have managed to adapt most of the original nc30 brackets in my build and just used small pieces of stainless where requried.

I use aluminum to make brackets. You can find then in any building materials supermarket.

i would guess it would fit, i made a 2004 body fit on my 1990 nc30. the only thing you made need, or maybe easier to buy than fabricate is the clock / top fairing bracket. i used the original nc30 one and then modified it for the 600rr fairing, but in using the original clocks as well i had to get a longer than standard speedo cable to reach the clocks as they are now further forward.

im going to use the 600rr front fairing bracket, and apparently the NC23 clocks dont fit, so i was going to purchase one of those aftermarket digital clocks that people put on offroad to road bikes to make them legall..

appartently theyre around £100 to £400 depending on style, brand name etc

some of the other regulars on here will know more about the digital dashes than i do. i used the original nc30 rev counter & temp gauge, replaced the speedo with a uk fireblade speedo. all i then had to do was find the longer speedo cable as mentioned.

i think digital clocks look far better, but i am working to a budget and this was a expense i did not really need.

do a search for digital speedos and im sure you will find plenty

yeah, i'm on a budget also, but as i also work, the budget gets bigger each week LOL
