Thanks again. The mirrors were a bit of an eBay mishap and resulting shoe-horning exercise! :rolleyes needless to say, late model FZ1 mirrors do NOT just bolt straight on to a boxeye!
It is a real conundrum. Definitely put it to the forum at large and see what they come up with!!
The second fairing I got was only £30, but luckily most of the broken bits were scrap to my project anyway. Though that doesn't help you seeing as how you still need the headlights. Unless you stick with what you've got and modify something from another bike altogether. Like this perhaps....

with a little cutting and trimming, who knows?!
Or this one with only one lens to be replaced. Gotta be better lights than the standard boxeye candleboxes!

Kind of wish I'd seen that one before!
Of course, it seems that my decisions to mess with my bike are a little easier than yours as I intend to keep it for a while. Even if I were to trade it in, I'd only be going for a foxeye with lower mileage. And it's only looks and slight increase in range that would attract me to that option. Bottom line, I simply can't afford the extra fuel and insurance involved with getting a thou. So I'm sticking for the forseeable.
Looking forward to suggested solutions to your quandries though!!
