:google: or more to the point E-bay looks to have a fair selection of panels available.

Not sure if you can get the cheap and chearfull chinese copies for the FZR like you can for the VFR/RVF but I would be suprised if not...

You have a FZR400R 3EN1 - I think there is a Chinese fairing kit for these but not sure and the stock might be different for your country.
Failing that the fairing lowers and top from a FZR600 3HE will fit - looks like you'll need the subframe and lights to match.

You can get Chinese fairings for all of the FZR400s except the 3TJ (annoyingly!), here's a link-

Don't forget to factor in import duty though, but even after that (around 26%) they're still good value (note I didn't say 'cheap'!) I love the Akai colour scheme. They're on the list of 'things I want for my 3EN2' :grin:

They're lush aren't they? I sent the seller a message and they can do them for a 3EN2- woo!

You want a 3EN1 to look like a 3TJ2 SP ? Don't expect fairings to be a direct fit.....


BTW, the SP you've pictured isn't a 1989 bike, it's no earlier than 1990 ;)

The 3TJ fairings just won't fit - no way no how. But you could ask that company if they'll do a 3en1 kit with the SP colours, I'm sure they can do that.

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.

They'll do custom paint on the panels they make, so you could have a 3EN1 painted up like a 3TJ SP if you wanted, or a close approximation anyway given the difference in panel shapes.

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