Screen differences? - captainrob - 07-09-2013
Can a screen off a 2008 be made to fit a 1999 or is the difference too great!

Captain, it seems to me like you are secretly longing for a gen 2 busa
I saves a lot of time in mods to the brakes, screens, fuel pumps etc. It is time to bite the bullet mate

My Gen 2 had a Gen 1 screen tight to get the two bolts in but they did go and just grinded a little of the front where it tucks under the centre of the nose cone

Pick up double bubble from around $20 on ebay. Heaps more Gen1 than Gen2. Why bother modifying.
. . . but you get what you pay for.

I found a carbon fibre screen/cowl of a gen 2 and was wondering whether it could be adjusted and fit the gen 1 trackie - seems pretty close?

I see!
they are a different shape, but from above post by Rod, sounds like it'd be an easy mod to fit a Gen1 on a Gen2. The other way I'm not so sure Think the Gen 2 screen wouldn't be pointy enough at the front and would leave a gap.
