'94 to '97 900RR light conversion?

hey everyone,

i recent got my first bike about 3 weeks ago and as i was looking at some of the newer models i noticed that the 97's have lights that look a lot better than the "bug eye" headlights on my 94.

i was wondering where would be the best place to get the conversion from and if i would have to replace the whole front section because it kind of looks that way.

also, about how big of a pain in the ass would this be?

thanks

my buddy put the conversion on his about a year ago, and he told me all you have to do is get the new fairing and healight assembly. you could easily find these things on ebay. as far as how big of a pain it is, he said it really wasn't that hard. Took him a couple of hours and then he was done. The biggest expense is going to be the paint after the fact.

From my understanding, you will need to get a new one. They are a tad off. You might be able to use the one you have, but that from what I am told is only with modification.

I have the 93 900 rr and love the lights. Its often difficult to get a front view when searching the web. Would you send pix of your 94? slskeels@msn.com
