Hi,
I just got my first F2 from a friend who dumped it and was wondering if you could possibly put F3 fairings on the body too?

 

ya but you will need the f3 fairing stay and headlight tail light also if its a 97 - 98 tail

 

Do you have any pics? how bad is the damage... have you thought about repairing the fairings?

 

How would u repair the fairings, mine are cracked

 

and im jus looking to pick up the side fairings off of an f3 for cheap would they fit in with my f2 fairings or would i have to do all f3 fairings to make it work

 

You would have to do at least sides and front uppers together. that requires the F3 headlight/fairing stay as well (i think).

Repairing cracked fairings is really easy (unless you are looking for absolute perfection from your fairings). What I do is get the crack lined up so it is flush with the rest of the fairing (no raised lip) and then tape over the crack (on the painted side) to hold it in place while you "plastic weld" the back side.

To "plastic weld" (my method... google will tell you more methods) you simply heat your crappiest kitchen knife (like hot knifing ) so the tip is really hot (really hot = slightly less than red hot) and then use the hot knife to melt/stitch the crack together. don't go too deep into the plastic or you will have scorch marks on the painted side. Just melt a little bit (1cm or so) at a time and slowly work up the crack making sure the tape is holding it flush the whole time.

after you can leave it as is (if the crack is minor) or sand and paint if necessary.

PS. you will have ruined your kitchen knife
