With Beasley and AirTech gone it's time to start thinking about a more modern bodywork set up for the FZR400s. Who out there has tried some different things and been successful in retrofitting them?? I know I've seen a couple of R1 and maybe R6 conversions, anyone try anything else?? I've been thinking about trying some FZ07, has anyone tried it before?
Agreed the 1st gen r6 tail looks good but with the 91-92 fzr600 upper race fairing in my opinion. Not so much the bulbous 400. Just looks odd to me, that combo. I’ve got 2 spare uppers, but obliterated spare tails in crashes. I better start looking too…..
I always used the fzr600 upper as well with 400 mids and lower. I used a TZ tail trimmed down to fit at the tank. All those options are gone now ... suppose I can do some bodywork repair. I'm really considering the FZ07 kit though, I think it would look fantastic I just don't know if it will fit. With it being a twin I'm hoping its not too narrow of a set up around the lower. Its a gamble ... but I may take it!
I’d love one of those tails……not sure if it’s TZ or what, but it’s the kind that covers the battery area, and you use the foam pad
I'm surprised the FZR400 gang hasn't reached out to AirTech and tried to solicit the purchase of the FZR400 molds?...I wish there was a large enough contingent of zx7 enthusiasts to attempt the same purchase of those molds. Regards, Chad
Hit up Tannermatic in Mass, he can recreate bodywork off crashed bits depending on how much is left, and he may still have the molds he made off my 3TJ's bodywork.
Ricambi has TZ250 stuff: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dk...ame=ricambiweissracingparts&_oac=1&_nkw=tz250 and FZR400 fairings: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dk...me=ricambiweissracingparts&_oac=1&_nkw=fzr400
This is still a possibility for sure, and know someone already who has considered it. I think storage space is the issue, from what I understand these things are pretty big
My FZR400 is set up to use R7 airtech fairing with XR750 seat & tail. And I'm not going to use them so if anyone is interested...
if anyone's gonna go this route, better get in touch with Matt soon. I know he's been tossing tooling and if he doesn't have it, you'll be paying for that too. and it ain't cheap.
I just got a set of 1991 GSXR 750 bodywork with the '89 RR tail from these guys. Not bad pricing ($635) and free shipping from Germany took 3 weeks. Its direct from fresh body molds as the origional decals can be seen. A little prep and its good to go for a race bike.
