GEN1 Front Fairing/Cowling Conversion

03FZ!

New Member
Hey guys - I keep seeing conversion kits for the GEN2 for removal of the front cowling/fairing, but am not finding anything for the GEN1. Anyone know if there is a kit out there? or am I going to have to do some crazy changes?

Thanks!
 
I bought my 01 FZ when it was already dropped by the previous owner and the headlights and front fairing were already gone. I added a $20 universal street fighter headlight that clips onto the fork tubes with rubber straps but the headlight position and light output was awful. I mounted a cheap LED projector inside of the housing and it's pretty decent, not great for dark night time rides but usable. The OEM gauges were ditched for a TrailTech vapor which required some minor splicing of the gauge harness but not too bad and it works great! I have it secured with heavy duty Velcro to the GYTR riser which has a flat surface - though this wouldn't work with the stock riser/bar setup.



It's not a bad look and not expensive just requires some time. I'll eventually post some more detailed photos.

How does the front end behave without the fairing and stuff
