Default front racing fairing?

Ok, so I know it's been asked many times about swapping the front fairing on the older 900's, but this is a little different. I've completely decided to swap mine, really can't stand the dual round lights on my '94, but instead of just switching it out for a later year, I'm wondering if anyone has gotten a race fairing and cut out custom headlight from something else? If so post some pics, I'd love to see! But that's what I'm checking into now, if I can't work it out then I'll swap it for a '98-'99 front end, but would rather have that completely custom look! Does anyone know of good sites to get race bodywork from? Thanks, hope to start working on it soon!

How about the NSR GP kit from Airtech? You can get it in race form without lights, then custom paint it to your liking.

Well after looking at a few I might just do a complete custom job here. I have enough fiberglass experience I think to pull this off. I'm thinking of filling in the round holes, completely smooth the front end off, then using some good style headlight(s) and cutting out the opening for them. This is just a quick drawing I made up at work of how a headlight from a '98 Altima would look in there, I think it'd be pretty sweet! Might have to fabricate a bracket depending on how much the lights weigh, but seems to be the same depth as the lights that are on the bike already.
Any preference for single or double lights? I only drew up a single but would most likely do double since this light is only a single bulb and I want as much brightness as I can get. Also plan to add a HID light system to further illuminate things. It's starting to warm up out here so I should start work soon. If anyone knows of other headlights similar to this one let me know, not totally decided yet, still open to ideas! Soon to have a completely custom front end...

your pic looks awesome, but remember to factor in the power needs of the altima headlight and weight of it. i would love to see the finished product, so i can't wait to see the pics

yea, I may have to build a bracket/brace for the new light, also thinking of adding 2 since it is only a single bulb design, the style works but I haven't had a chance to measure the actual altima headlight to see if the dimensions will work or not. When I do it, which should be soon, I'm also adding an HID system so that should take care of all power needs
