Difference in fairings Fi / Carb ?

Murt

What, If any, is the difference in lower fairings between the carb model, and the Fi bike on the BB?
Will any year fit any year bike?

I don't know yet,
A contact has left a message at work that a set of red ones ( unfortunately) have been found in the back of a garage they are clearing out, but I don't know any more til they have been examined.

I'm quite attached to those ' celtic patterns' on my lower :rolleyes:

Sorry jaws but they arn't the same.
The carbed one is 27 1/2 cm from the bottom to the bit below the rad.
The Fi one is 23 cm
If you use the carbed one on an fi it covers the bottom section of the rad and can rub on it.
We have one of each and I made the mistake when I had them both stripped down
Both cowlings will fit the body pannels though.
Woo Hoo I knew something that Jaws didnt.
Oops but he knows a shed load that I dont.

no spam... takes them 2/3 days... like longer... fill/rub down/paint/oven/lacquer/oven...
economic batch use of oven...etc..etc....nose has to come off:bang:

if you want them to take it off it will cost you a bit more
so suppose you could ride it up and leave it for a few days
....I'll drop you at train station...and pick you up on collection day
