new cbr600rr owner - need some help
hi guys, just bought a 99 cbr 900rr, and i have some questions.
first off, it has 14k miles on it. the previous owner replaced the front end with a newer dual headlight front end, i think it might be from a 1000rr. it doesnt line up, but its close.
the problems are as follows:
will these fairings ever line up? or will i be stuck with zip ties for the rest of my life?
the head lights arent hooked up. any resources for findking which wire to tie into?
the front turn signals are missing, and they arent hooked up. where do i find this?
the rear turn signals dont work. where do i find that info?
the clutch is slipping horrible. rick rousch said 150 for labor and parts. that seems very fair, what do you think?
a.y help would be great. thanks guys
Also, what front end is this on my bike:

With enough time, effort and fabrication skills, anything can be made to fit. Zip ties are great for a quick fix, like at the track or in the event you don't have any other option, but I'd do my best to try to ge the front end fitted properly. Nothing is quite as fun as your front clip shaking at speed.
As far as your wiring issues go, I'd go ahead and get a service manual for the bike. Not only will it have the wiring diagrams in it, but tons of other usefull information you'll probably need later down the road, knowledge is power. You can head to your local bike shop and have them order you one, or you can order one online. If you need the info right now, I'd hit up one of the shops and just ask them which wires youneed to use. Most shops have no problem with giving you information.
For that bike, I personally would throw on some Phillip Lockhart Flush mounts, Which conveniently come with a wiring diagram and the resistors.
Rear Turn signals would be an issue that I would again suggest a service manual for.
As far as the Clutch work goes, did they tell you what parts they would be replacing? If that the price for a new clutch and for them to install it for you, then yeah thats a pretty good price.
From the picture you're provided, the front end looks likeit came off a 03-04 1000rr . Also if you're going to replace the front fender, you may want to look at www.oppracing.com.Pretty good group of guys, and they have great customer service. $190 for Carbon/kevlar. http://www.oppracing.com/products.ph...=56&id=175
Hope atleast some of the info helps.

RE: new cbr600rr owner - need some help
Thank you so much for your help. Just another few quick questions.
Do you have a link for the flush mounts?
For the clutch work, they said they would do the work first to see what parts actually need replacing.
I've attached3 picture of the 2004 1000RR. While similiar, it looks as if mine has a dip down to it, and these are all flat. I could not find a 03 1000RR. Any idea what front end this is, as I need parts for it. Also, what fenders are on my bike? the 1000RR or the 900RR? Thanks for all your help.
