hi guys, just done a bit of a search, and it apears the 05-08 gixxer 1000 front guard will bolt strait onto the gen2, will it also bolt on to the gen1??
any help greatly appreciated :) ash
I must be wrong it looks totally different to mine, the rear mount is similar but the hole centres on the front look different.

You can make virtually anything fit anything, with a bit of work or, as Bruce said an adaptor.
Question is, how much effort are you willing to go thru?

well, i have to replace all plastic on the bike, and honestly think the factory style of the front guard is ugly as sin, if its going to be a drama ill just buy a carbon busa one and modify it to look better, but would rather buy one pre-made that looks good and "almost" fits, i might try and google for a few pics of both, and see how different the mounting is
thanks for the help and photos guys :)
Do a search on .org - someone has almost always tried everything on a busa once before.
