Title: Fairing conversion / replacement
Post by: jongoober on 07 May 2015, 02:00:18 am: Hi all!

I recently dropped my fzs600 :'( Luckily the bike is ok apart from the fairing. It's cracked down the right side with a big chunk coming off.

Instead of fixing / replacing the fairing I've decided I'd like to look into removing the fairing completely and putting on twin headlights.

My main issue is I'm not too sure how this works considering the clocks protrude from the bike a lot and I can't see how I'd fit the headlights on. I can only imagine I would either need to replace the clocks with something smaller (aftermarket digital speedo etc) or keeps the clocks but put a fly screen on the protect the excess wiring however the clocks would still look out of place as they stick out so much.

Has any here removed the fairing and looked into changing the headlights? if so how did you go about it?

Any guides / pictures are more than welcome!

Cheers

It's only temporary until I can make something up to keep the wiring and underside of the clocks hidden.

I suppose you could get some head light ears for the forks and mount a plate on them for the headlights to sit. Maybe with the plate covering the clocks etc. polished aluminium etc.

I need to get mine sorted as its bugging me!

This is one for starters http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,16201.msg186329.html#msg186329 (http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,16201.msg186329.html#msg186329)
Personally I like the big single headlight look, but each to their own.
