twigg Posted May 2, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 2, 2011 I need to replace the front right fairing panel on my '86 VR. I might be able to repair the one I have, but it is quite badly broken. Does anyone know if all the First Gens used the same front fairing? I read somewhere that they did. If that is the case I will only have a color problem. So ... Will the front fairing panels from the early first gens fit the '86 on models? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 2, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 2, 2011 MKI's (83-84) might fit except for the very early '83's. The 85's will probably fit, but anything from 86 and later will work fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted May 2, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 2, 2011 They should be all interchangeable. Now the engine covers (side panels) are a slightly different story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted May 2, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 2, 2011 They should be all interchangeable. Now the engine covers (side panels) are a slightly different story... My bad... Was thinking side covers.... But.... because of the different head light assemblies you still may need to stick with a MKII fairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
