GSXR1100 fairing swap

Evening Folks.
I have a 1989 GSXR1100 with the very flat profile headlights. I was wondering if I could fit the complete fairing with brackets off the later  slingshot. So question is are the frame mountings the same?

Cheers

Do you mean are 1127K/L headlight fairings interchangeable with 1127M/N headlight fairings? If so yes, as long as you get all the right parts for the conversion. You are best off trying to get the whole M/N headlight fairing along with its mirrors (different spacing than K/L) and the bracket (no.33) that goes between the headstock and M/N headlight subframe. As the M/N headlights sit closer back toward the headstock you'll need an M/N speedo bracket to fit your K clocks into. M/N clocks sit higher up to clear the subframe. Not sure if you can bend the K/L speedo bracket out of the way but clocks would look shit sitting almost vertical. 

As for trying to fit custom lights into the fairing, a lot of work since the headlight is bolted to the subframe and then the fairing itself bolts to the headlight, anyway you'd probably get a good deal on the M/N headlight if you buy it with the whole fairing as one complete unit. ;)
