Project FZR: Fairing Fitted

The sun is shining, Britain is enjoying some nice warm weather, and it is October tomorrow. It's really weird as flowers are blooming but the leaves on trees have turned golden and are falling off. Anyway, this is perfect bike riding weather so expect some pretty pictures soon. Because of this I got myself into gear and fitted the new fairing that I recently revived.

The job didn't take long but it involved swapping some clips and rubbers over in order to make the fairing ready to fit. Here is the result.

It came up a treat with the Autoglym products so I'll do the same to the rest of the bodywork. I'm on the look out for other body panels, but if I have no luck I'll have the red bits sprayed up. The fairing that covers the headlight needs attention so I'll get a specialist to plastic weld that and spray it back up.

Here is the fairing I took off. I intend on having a bash at fixing the damaged areas.

The damage isn't bad, but trying to match the paint finish could be hard. I quite fancy an A16 Moto GP exhaust pipe too but I'd rather spend money getting the bike as mint as possible. FZR400RR's are getting hard to find in good condition now so I plan on restoring this to its former glory. Besides the paint work I can fix everything up myself so that will reduce cost. I already have another bike in mind next year so the FZR will have a bit of a rest then.
