i wonder if the k8 fairings fit the 99?

[jessie928]

i am only interested in the headlight for better night visibility, but it looks like the cone fairing does not attach to the sides the same way.

i would be interested to see if the whole front is a bolt on replacement?

i suppose we would have to wait awhile before the parts will be cheep enough though!

would have to fit somehow as the frame is supposed to be the same as what we are sitting on at the moment

The frame may be the same but the tank, instruments, screen and all the surrounds are different.

You would be very lucky to get a fit I think.

hmm will have to try one me thinks, otherwise, i will just graft a 08 headlight into a spare 99 nosecone and see how that looks.

rolfs!

I don't think they would fit - lots of differences. eg. The belly wing is part of the right hand fairing now and not attached to the left hand side - and the headlights and nosecone panel are a different shape

the headlight on the 08 is the part i think they didn't improve aesthetically! i always loved the look of the headlight on the 99-07's.

Its interesting what people like and others dont on the new Bus.

I like the new headlight, particularly how the top edge mimics the screen shape. It is larger though and stands out more on.

[jessie928]

i dont mind the look of the 08 headlight, but i like my headlight aswell.

I just want the headlight for the night visibility. IF the 08 busa headlight is half as good as the K7 thou headlight, it will do wonders to my night riding :)

I have spare fairings, i may make a hybrid if i can get a damaged 08 nosecone and headlight :)

i reakon the fairings will fit though, maybe the dash support frame will have to be changed aswell though.

I like the old headlight because it feels like a titty - If you grab it and close your eyes.......

It would be easier and cheaper to just fit a high/low HID kit to your existing headlight. The difference is amazing.
