little word of advice, put a little epoxy around the tabs on the tail before you begin to mount them and u should be find taking them on and off. they are a bit fragile. because of the glue that they use. and i will PM u my address, because i do need new bolts. that would be greatly appreciated. I was trying to avoid buying a new set so ive been using ones i find around the garage... the headlight bolts are a priority for me. throw them in an envelope and just put it in the nearest mail box

semi update and idea... so since my faring tail tabs broke off, i broke off the excess glue residue and saw that its pretty much just a separate tab in its place... SO my next project to do with the farings is to fix the imfamous GAP on the tail so i plan on taking/breaking off all the tabs on the tail and remounting them to fit and sit flush all around... I emailed Moto 777 and they are sending me a few new tabs in the mail so i have a couple extra incase i make any mistake

although i am pretty disappointed in the in the fitment of the tail of the faring, i think Moto777 is a good dealer and with communication all around. and they definately exceeded my expecataions as a seller of aftermarket farings

Gotta give it to you nick for being so patient and understanding... I'd be pretty upset if I paid a few hundred bucks on fairings and had tabs breaking off on me...

I wanted to bring it out of the garage to get some pics but i still dont have the rear wheel back from getting powdercoated so when i do, i will be able to roll it our. and its at my dads garage, i keep on getting excited to work on it that i always forget my camera so i keep snapping cellphone pics cuz its what i got. i will try not to forget it next time

and chuckbear, i am kinda mad but i really love the konica minolta kit and this is the only way i know of getting it with out paying an arm and a leg. and plus the bike is for now only... its gonna be a gift to my sister in the summer cuz shes learning how to ride too that way i can go ahead and get another bike

I bought the fairings off ebay for around $500. For my 93 600 F2. They dont come with the bolts or anything just fairings. can be a pain to install. they look very nice, some flaws but overall worth the money. unless u can just blow $1,000 to get the factory ones.

OK SO FINALLY!!!!! FINALLY complete... my only issue with the farings is the tail section. That gap. i didnt eliminate it as much as i wanted to but i just said screw it. I got my bike up and running smooth and i took it to a shop to day to just get looked at make sure no causes of concern.

There are still a couple bolts that i need since it was Sunday and everything was closed but i promise i will get better pics up ASAP

anyway...

BEFORE (actually how it looked when i just got the bike)
