I hate to be a naysayer for new ideas. :D I think it makes the front end look a little bit wide/bulky as it is. If you cut down the bottom and the sides, it make work, but as it is, It doesn't quite fit. :D

Bear in mind that that opinion is coming from a guy that like to take as much stuff off his bike as possible. :D Your bike is very cool, so if you think you can pull it off, I've got faith in you man. I'd like to see the results, but if it were mine, I'd say no.

ya im thinking the same thing... but i dont really wanna kill the upper if im not gonna use it.. i do plain on using it on the fzr if i dont use it on this... i might put it all togather(headlights, windscreen) and see what it looks like then..

if i dont use this. i have a really small upper from lik a old 250 or sumthing thats u use with the round headlight(its at the bike shop)

I kinda like the dual light thing, my thought would be some small projection type headlights and fill in large holes, maybe cone them out a bit and make it look sleek

Did the FZR front end bolt right up? I've got most of a 94 FZR600R in my garage (oil pump went out at about 8K on the tach so the motor's a f**k story) and was thinking about swapping the front end over to my 77 kz650 but didn't know if it'd bolt right up or not....
