Has anyone tried installing GSXR1000 (2001) bodywork (specifically race tail and upper fairing) on a 1999 GSXR750? Thanks

I think the GSXR king has all of those bikes!!

TWISTY!!!!!!!!! what do you think?????

Welcome to TWF. Glad to have you hear. The tail should fit with no problem but the fairings may not. The holes I don't think are going to line up.

 

[twisty]

Yeah it wont work unless you drill new holes. I have both of those bikes and thought about doing the same thing. You will need some bondo and filler too

 

[Gas Man]

See I knew Twisty would know. Cause I knew you had both model styles in your garage!!!! Thanks for not letting me down Twisty!

 

[GSXR1000DJ]

Is that for the tail as well Twisty??? I knew the fairings wouldn't work.

Thanks everyone for your fast response. I've seen the tail on a 99 before, but I'm more concerned about the upper front fairing (nose). It looks like it will work with a little mod, but I don't want to buy one and then get stuck with nothing more than a nice piece of plastic for my wall.

If you can wait till tonight I take alook for you.

 

[Gas Man]

No problem man, just post up some more....WELCOME!!

No...you go looky now. LOL Just kidding. :lol:

 

[charha01]

Thanks Twisty (and everyone else). Let me know what you see tonight and I'll keep you guys in the loop on the project as it rolls along.

Hi.... did you get a chance to check things out last night?
Thanks......

 

[twisty]

Yeah it is going to be a huge job. I would just spend the 350 bucks to buy new bodywork.

 

[Gas Man]

So what you are trying to say is that by the time you would be done, that the body work would look like swiss cheese with all the spare mounting holes?? :lol:

 

[twisty]

Yeah, if you want a discount on some bodywork let me know and I will help you. I can get the whole set for like 300 bucks. fender, upper, lower and tail. Hit it with a 400 grit and paint.

 

[charha01]

Thanks Twisty for all help. Is the bodywork you are talking about for a 1999 or 2001?

 

[twisty]

what ever year you want...
