    A stock lower can serve as a belly pan but it must be modified to have the appropriate holding capacity. I have seen some modified with a wall/lip added to the rear so it actually becomes a "pan" that will retain oil in the even of a failure.

    If the fairing lower extends the entire length of the motor front to back and can hold the same volume of fluids that are coursing through the motor then yes, it will be considered a belly pan.

    Many racers have modified their fairing lowers by extending them rearward and enlosing the rear section using fiberglass.

    Bellypans won't be mandatory at the Spring Classic at NFMP in Feb. so you'll have time to check out what people have done. Or just track me down (Yamaha XS650 WERA V #415, AHRMA #151) and I'll try to help out with ideas.
