    Hey all, I have a chance to get the full fairing from a VF500F2 in England, a friend is travelling and she said she’d pack her clothes around it in her suitcase. Does anyone know if it bolts right up to the North America bike?
    Thanks
    Dennis

    No it will not "bolt right up". Not even close, very different pieces.

    And do you mean just the lowers? (Which still won't bolt up)

    Must be huge luggage in any case.

    Yea sorry, just the lowers to give the bike a full fairing look. So they won’t fit?

    The upper cowls are totally different and the lowers for the F2 connect to the upper F2.

    The frame on the F and F2 variants have different mounting hardware and positions. So the Captain is correct, without a lot of messing they won't fit. I considered converting my fully faired F2 int a half faired F, but when I worked out the detail I gave up. Not saying it can't be done but it is work.
