Hi
Could anyone tell me if tgd frames are the same from 1994 to the newer models, as I broke the fairings off my 94, and is hard te get new ones, whereas the newer fairings are easier got an was wondering if the newer model fairings would fit my 94??
Or if anyone could point me in direction where could find fairings for my bike,
Thanks for any info.

89-00 same

2001+ newer style tail.

Plastics not compatible between newer and older frames.

Addy, you certainly know better than I on this... but, I was thinking that the front fairings might be compatible between new and older frames?  I know the tail fairings are not for sure.

You can goober up brackets and make the tail all fit pretty nice though.
I did some 10 or so years ago. But a couple years ago I bought a 93 that had a beautiful and much simpler swap from a post 01 tail on it.
Mine was adjustable and removable, that one wasn't, but who cares.
I personally prefer the old ones look though ... give me an 89 in white or black and I'll just melt.

The front fairings are a lot harder to get to fit on the old ones. Lots of welding needed on the frame.

Cool.

Pictures of what you need would help. When you talk of fairings, is that:
* tail plastics?
* headlight cowl aka bikini fairing?
* Belly pan aka bug spoiler?
* Full TCP or Five stars "E" front fairing? (as I have on Junior and the HUHSKY bike)

I have many spare parts for the "E"  as I prefer the style of it over the F tanks & plastics.
