I would like to put a gixxer or other type headlight on my bike. I was thinking that some of the fairing stays that hold the light and fairings onto the gixxers will more than likely bolt up to where our fairing stay installs (you know, the 2 bolts that hold most of our nose onto the bike on the stem for the steering). Has anyone ever tried this, or does anyone know what's more compatible? I'd like to make provisions for my stock guages as well. Please advise.

Interesting. I've also thought of this and never seen it done. sounds pretty cool. the front needs to be a little more nasty. The gixxer eyes just seem to stare a bit meaner than the kat's...I wouldn't be so paranoid... if everyone wasn't out to get me. -

I was thinking, that if you get a complete, say, gixxer nose, you should be able to throw it on the fron no problem, if you can just bolt it up to the stem bracket. They all bolt up the same, I was just wondering if anyone has done it and knows what fits perfectly. I'm assuming that the sizes should be fairly identical, so forks, windshield, etc should fit around the existing Kat frame. Now, I also have a streetfighter so it shouldn't be an issue fitting into the fairings. I was thinking about doing a circa 92 gixxer 1100, the twin headlight one, and all other parts. Does this sound attainable? I'd imagine the best person to ask should be Frankenkat...........Dude, if I could swim, I'd be a Pirate.Comment

hmm, how about the new like 04-05 gixxers or even 02 models? how hard would it be to bolt and wire on of those up to a 97 600? think i would have to mod much?? just the upper fairings with the headlight.Comment
