95 to 97 conversion
 

I have a 95 600 and I need to replace most of my plastics, every piece has a little crack somewhere! I was looking around and noticed the 97-98 had a pointy tail section, which I like better then the square ones. Will the tail section from a 97 bolt up to my 95 bike?? It looks like the rest of the plastics are the same, so I dont see why not. I just dont want to buy em and them not fit. Does anybody know for sure?

Seat is diffrent, tail light is diffrent, believe the under tail is diffrent...

I know the whole backside is different, but will it bolt up to my frame is the question

I got the 97/98 plastic and tail lightfor my 96but haven't got it all together yet. I'm like you, the 97/98 tail looks better. plus the tail light has the blank dummy area on each side of the taillight that you can put turnsignals behind for that hidden look. I test fitted the side tail and it fit but like it was said the seat is also different so you basically would need the entire tail "stuff".

Sweet! So the 97 seat will still fit up agianst my gas tank?

Here is a side view comparison of a 1997F3 (top)and a 1996 F3 (bottom). notice the difference of the seat profile, especially right at the tank. It goes just slightly farther forward on the 97 but basically are the same.

Ok. Well, if you get done with yours I would like to see pics. In all reality, I prolly wont do it for a few months anyway.

I am interested in seeing this as well. It seems that 97 plastics are waaaay easier to find. Everytime i go searching for some for my 95 i keep on running into 97 and 98 pieces.

yes they will bolt right up. you need the tail section from a 97/98, the seat from a 97/98, the tail light from a 97/98 and the battery tray from a 97/98 . and yes there is room in the tail light it self to stick some small aftermarket blinkers in there for an integrated look.
