)IMO, looks a bit squiddy. i'd rather go street fighter than get those fairings.

The only other model whose fairings will bolt up to the F2 are those on the F3, with the following exceptions:
Any fairing other than those on the tail will require replacement of all upper and lower fairings, the windscreen, headlight, upper fairing stay, inner fairing stay covers, inner "V" fairings, and possibly the cluster.
If you want to replace the tail, that's a bit easier. To change the tail to a later version F3 you would need the tail pieces (of course), an F3 tail lamp, seat, and possibly the tail lamp bracket.
This isn't entirely confirmed but I will say that it is mostly correct. If you need to check, see if you can find pictures of used parts for both models of motorcycles or a microfiche, and compare them to one another.

You have to fab it. Any fairings other than the f2 are going to require some fabrications. F3s, F4s. All of em. The only fairings that bolt up with no modification at all is the stock F2 fairings. You're not going to find any mass-produced conversion kits for these bikes either, they're just too old for any manufacturer to be able to make money selling kits like that. Either you're going to have to stay with originals or you're going to have to get ready to do some modifications yourself. (or take it to a machine/body shop and probably pay a lot for them to do it for you)

Where do you buy fairings?
Follow up question. I'm a rookie, so I'm just trying to learn alot of this stuff.
My F2 is the blue-ish with the pink (same color scheme as the picture below from the pix thread of a much nicer bike). I've seen some replacement fairings on Ebay, but only the left side or rear plastics. I don't have the right side covers. Any advice on where to find them? Is it possible?
Thanks for any help!
