Those aren't for the F, technically. They are for the naked model.

Which caused the horn to be relocated as well. It might fit in the Aluzio fairings without relocation. Those fairings are upwards up $2000,  I believe. Maybe $3000. That's like the cost of the GS. f%$k that.

Technically, no... the F model has mounting tabs welded to the frame for the fairings that the E models don't have. And the F models have an oil cooler. And something about designations being like K1 or some crap after like '00.. too lazy to look that one up.. technically.. :laugh:

Technically K1 = 2001
Technically K2 = 2002
Technically K3 = 2003
Technically K4 = 2004
Technically K5 = 2005
Technically K6 = 2006

Not sure maybe you can do a search and find out but I think the main problem with the fitment of the Aluzio kit was the rear didn't fit right and was a pain in the a$$ to get to fit,  not the front.  Here is a link to their site

http://www.aluiziomotos.com.br/v2/en/PersonalizacoesDetalhe.asp?PERS_COD=PERS000004

Just email them and ask about cost of kit, shipping if your are interested they sell the kit as a whole or seperatly.

Before ordering do a search on aluzio , you will see many threads read them and make your own decision (sp)
