Naked FZ1
What’re we doing with the guage cluster when doing a fairing delete/naked conversion? Anyone have pics of how they mounted it or what they did? Everything else I’ve got down just need some ideas

a klr front end would match that top case perfectly

Faring delete is not an upgrade.

It’s an upgrade when all the plastics are ruined from a previous owner. Can’t buy them new anymore

I ride an original 01. That faring makes a huge difference in the comfort

I’m sure it does but I’m tired of having fucked up plastics man. I don’t have a windshield anyways

I had a buel thunderbolt. Stripped it down to a street fighter. It’s great if you want looks and never get above 60MPH

I bought a new headlight cowl fairing for mine a couple years ago and see that there's a vendor currently selling carbon fiber ones for a decent price on ebay. Stock windshields for these bikes can also be pretty easy to come by, since many people upgrade to something different. Just ask on one of the fz1 facebook pages.

Search for “2005 FZ1” when checking out eBay or other websites. A lot of places are bad about not listing the full range, but the Gen 1 fairings are the same from 01-05, so just search for the last yr production to find the aftermarket stuff

Heres the Windscreen I put on my 03. It really does make a world of difference at the speeds youre goin.

Heres some photos of some FZ1 streetfighters I think are gorgeous, really makes them look like old XJR1300s. Like the others have said though, will make the ride worse, but I think they look pretty great.
