im thinking about gettin an 96 F3 but i really dont like the plain square headlight and i was wondering if its possible to put the newer"racooneye"shaped headlights in and if ne one has done it i was wondering how much work i would be looking at? and also are there conversion kits for getting a newer tail/seat on it, or does it require a lot of fabbing and welding? thanks for the help

 

Buy a FG race upper fairing, and find your favorite headlights. If you dont feel comfortable doing the work yourself, ask a friend or get some quotes from some shops. As for the tail, your getting yourself into more work. I dont believe you can find any tails thatll bolt right up.

 

A 97-98 tail will bolt right up, and looks a lot better. You'll need a few other bits too to make it work.

And before you buy some 600rr headlights, I tried and there is absolutely NO WAY they will work in the F3 upper.

 

Talk to DementedF3, or look at his bike in the bike of the month, he completely converted it to an F4i body / headlight setup.
