I read through a few threads, trying to figure out exactly how to do this, and just had a few concerns/questions. Here's my situation:

Have a '91, plastics all nastied up. Rather than buying a blank fairing set for an f3 to put on, would this be an alright investment? Called them up, they're drilled, painted, etc. Not sure exactly how 95/96% "fit" was calculated, but the rep said it should be fine: $850 shipped

Fairings

Also, I'm aware I'm going to need a new seat, probably just going to invest in this (#1): $187

Seat

and a tail light: $105
Lights

All in all, looking at about $1200, including shipping, and buying replacement bolts (original owner of my bike wasn't able to find all of them). From what I've read, the upper/lower fairings should match up fine, and the tail section as well?
Clicky says I need a new headlight as well. But my real question is, is this conversion as simple as I'm thinking? Or is there something big I'm missing?

 

Don't you need an F3 front fairing stay (birdcage) as well as the f3 headlight?

yes u will need an f3 front fairing stay for the nose.But dam arron thats a nice site with nice body kits.I wish they just had f2's so we really wouldnt have to do alot of work.i know you need the front fairing stay.Im sure someone else with answer the question of what else you may need..

 

Yeah, it's a bummer, and I figured if I have to shell out a lot for an oem body, I might as well just go all out and give it a newer look. I was reading this post
from another guy (link)
and it seems like he made most of it fit, except for the parts I had already planned on buying. A question on the front stay: it seems like he just drilled new holes. AFAIK the F2's didn't change much frame-wise so hopefully I'd be able to do the same. Could you guys shed any light?

Also, is this pretty much everything I'd have to do?:
Drill new holes or replace front stays
New headlight
New tail light + seat
New windscreen

Anything I'm missing?

 

I could be wrong, but you could be safe with the F2 seat. Do you really need a new seat because there are some nice custom looking vinyl jobbies on ebay for re-covering your existing seat...

 

The F2 seat does fit with the conversion,but there is a gap near the gas tank about 1/2" to 1" big...just depends on how picky you are i guess

 

Well i think some of the ideas are mixed....There are two types of F3's the 95/96 and the 97/98.

The only difference is the tail end which you will need to get a 97/98 tail light, tailight bracket, seat and tail fairings. If you are getting an 95/96 tail end you can use your same tail light and seat so you don't have to buy those.

You will need the f3 front fairing stay and headlight 95-98 any work.

Hope I could help.

Edit: You will also need the F3 windscreen, Plus check out ebay they have some nice looking F3 fairing sets for around $500 shipped.
