RE: upgrading plastics
I know this topic wasn't intended for me but I'm surprised that every question I was gonna ask already had an answer for it. Thanks morehpforme, I have a '93 CBR 900 RR and I have been looking for '93 fairings for a good while already and I had discarded the idea to look in to later years, so I had decided to paint it, but it's a whole lot cheaper to buy a good set of fairings and brackets. Thanks alot man...

RE: upgrading plastics
No problem man, just happy to help.
I love these bikes (900rr's) so much that I never stop tinkering with mine. I've learned a lot from internet research as well as trial & error... just spreadin' the wealth, ya know!?
mxprecidia, you don't have to change the mid or lower fairings. All years' mids/lows will work with one another. The mids will mount up just fine to any year upper.

Okay, check it out... the swap is really easy.
Regardless of what year bike you have, you can put on any other years' upper fairing.
Here is my 1993 with 1999 carbon fiber fairings:
If you want 1998-99 front/upper then you need a 1998-99 fairing stay. If you want 1995-1997 front/upper then you need a 1995-1997 fairing stay. If you want 1993-94 front/upper then you need a 1993-94 fairing stay. The mirror stays are a little different. 1993-95(or 96... I forget) mount to the sides of the frame. If you look at the picture you can see an open hole on the frame, right below the grip. If you want to upgrade your mirror stay to the later model, simply buy a late model fairing stay and drill a hole out directly in the middle of the mounting plate. I had a buddy weld an extra plate of aluminium to keep durability up. If your bike already has the two-hole tank mount for the mirror stay, then you don't need to worry about that little bit. The headlight housing is as follows; 93-94.... 95-97.... 98-99. Just like the fairings... that's about it. A really simple upgrade.
