Can't tell you if that will fit, but if you don't get it, I have one I will sell. New, used for two days on a 94 900. Mightn be a few days before I answer since I am moving.

Without seeing pics of the fairing you are talking about, this is the best I have....

Take a look at your top triple, just in front of where the forks exits. If you have a threaded hole there, then the fairing will work. But you will probably need the black plastic turnsignal mounts that the 1999 uses for the upper fairing bolt to mount. Or you could make "L-shaped" brackets. Have a look at the pic of the triple below. Sorry, but no pics of the plastic signal mounts.

Can you post the ebay link, or pic of the fairing?

yes, i hav the same fork mounting as in the pics, maybe i could fabricate the mounting for the fairing , do i hav to relocate the turn signals?
thanks

Providing you can make the "L-brackets"(it's really pretty easy), then that fairing will work. Or, post up in WTB for the signal brackets I'm sure someone has a pair collecting dust.

And no, you won't have to move the turnsignals. You might have to trim the CF a little with a dremel tool(use a MASK!) to clear the turnsignals, but other than that you will be in good shape. [thumbsup]

I had this fairing on my bike. I fabricated a couple of L brackets out of aluminum strip bent just over 90 degrees, not too tough. You do have to lean the fairing more forward than on the earlier bikes to clear the larger instrument cluster, but I actually liked the look.
