BEEN OFFERED A 2000 FAZER 600 HEADLIGHT WILL IT FIT MY 2001 FZS 1000
Yes, but only if its the foxeye model. And if its is the foxeye model, then it will have come from a 2002-2004 model, not a 2000 model. A parts page -

Got picture of the unit you've been offered..? I ask because the foxeye unit has 7 mounting points/lugs -
- 2x on the top (as you can see above) and 2x on the bottom
- the remaining 2x lower middle of the headlight (HL) unit.
The mounting lugs all perform specific tasks, so you can only get away with some being broken -
- The top two(l/r corner) lugs mount the HL to the subframe and the front fairing to the HL
- The bottom 2x lugs mount the fairing to the headlight.
- The middle top lug mount the fairing to the headlight.
- The lower middle lugs mounting th HL to the subframe.
Its common for the one or more of the corner lugs to be damaged, these can be repaired and if they are missing this lower's the price of the HL significantly. if one of the lower l/r corner lugs are broken/missing its not much of an issue. If one of the lower middle lugs is missing along with one of the top corner lugs, DON'T buy the HL, unless the front lens is in good condition, your desperate for a HL and its going for less than £50. If more lugs are missing then walk away.
Here is an example of HL with a top corner lug missing, but in this shot we cant see the the cond. of the other lugs.-
And here is a '
perfect example' of one to walk away from, 1. Spares Unlimited are a bunch of crooks, £100 for a terminally broken HL unit is just taking the piss. 2. Reading the description it states the unit is split down the middle, its not fit for purpose so the HL is not even worth £50 let alone £100.
And lastly on the subject of pricing, don't pay more than £150 for a HL in mint or very good cond.
