F3 to ZX9 tail swap comming soon!!
Mates just stacked his zx9 smashing the front up and has dessided to change all the fairings so is donating his tail to me, was just wondering if anyone else done a zx9 swap before? If so anyone got pics and tips, if not ill "TRY" to create a guide of the simpliest methode i can come up with lol, the idea is to creat a sort of subframe that can "clip onto" the original subframe rather than cutting and welding the original.

THis is something I;m going to keep my eye on ... I love the perfomrance of my f3 .. just the single head light shows that it;s a little older... I'd love the upgraded look of newer style fairings... -Lee |

That's not going to work. By design, you're going to end up about an inch higher, and fairings won't mate properly in the middle (which is ALREADY going to be enough of a concern). Your absolute best course of action is to just cut some metal tabs, drill your mounting holes in them, and weld them to your existing frame.
