twigg Posted May 2, 2011 #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.
Condor Posted May 2, 2011 #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....
bongobobny Posted May 2, 2011 #4 Posted May 2, 2011 They should be all interchangeable. Now the engine covers (side panels) are a slightly different story...

Was thinking side covers.... But.... because of the different head light assemblies you still may need to stick with a MKII fairing.
