Can anyone help, wondering if the fox eye fairing and headlight will fit straight onto the box eye clock mount?                     Also will the side fairings you can buy on epay fit the fox eye nose cone as these are aftermarket?

foxeye fits on the boxeye but you need the foxeye front subframe and headlights.

The link above tells it all but is quite lengthy so to summerize :-
The expensive parts will be fairing, headlight unit, fairing mounting sub-frame. This will be the hardest and most painful part on the purse!
Making a few small steel brackets. I.e. Cutting, drilling and bending 1.5 to 2 mm steel strip.
Some basic but careful new wiring with a couple of relays.
If you are handy with that sort of thing it's not difficult and quite satisfying, also you end up with much better lights.
As always just ask on here if you need more info

Easier and cheaper to sell the box eye and buy the fox eye.

Won't be selling my box eye anytime soon just not worth it my dad baught it me for 1000 when I passed my test about 3 years ago had 20,000miles now it's just under 50,000 so it's not worth much plus I had a smack on it got paid 1800 with the bike back. It ows me nothing and its my work horse all I have. Have another fzs on a 02 streetfighter project putting a r1 4c8 ass end on it just baught a subframe off eBay not sure what suspension set up yet needs usd forks and braced swing arm polished defo
