Nose cone & headlights
« on: 24 February 2023, 07:43:35 pm »
So, besides my modified Fazer, and FZR, and a YZF, I'm busy building another 'special'.
Which of you knowledgeable & experienced people can tell me what the differences are between the fox eye versions of the 1000 and the 600. I'm looking to buy a nose cone, headlights & mounting bracket for a separate (non- Fazer) bike project. I was leaning towards the FZS 600 fox eye set, but have been offered one from a 1000.
Question is mainly around the sizes..., not worried about mounting arrangements  - those will be modded to suit anyway.
Are the 1000 versions narrower than the 600 versions ?Any other arbitrary info would help...
Thanks !!

Hi Pal.


What info are u specifically looking for?


If it's measurements of a 1000 nose cone, I can help with that, 1000 is defo a bigger unit than a 600, both look very similar from 20yards away but very different up close.

Width across the nose (widest point) would be helpful (for the 1000)

Interesting to note that the headlights have the same part number for 600 & 1000 (5LV-8431000)
And the cowl part numbers are similar, with only the model identifier being different 5RT-2835G-00-P2 v 5LV-2835G-00-P2
Thus the question 'whats different ?'   particularly if considering the above & you understand the structure of the yamaha part number convention ...

Cheers
