I have a mixed opinion, when i look at it from the back, i love it, then i see the headlights, and hate it. Overall i like them just because they're unique and don't look like most other bikes in my area, however when i see a new bike i always think, those look cool.

Yep, even though I'm shaving mine down a little bit around the exhaust header, still love them. To me the engine is not that attractive, I used some Gunk engine cleaner a few months back but it still looks dirty. I guess it's just discolored.

THe back is fine I just would like the double lamp version front
been looking for a while but no luck they all appear to be trashed when they do appear even Plastex would be hard to rebuild them in any meaningful way.

i like the lower fairings...thats about it. i thought the dual head lights were cool but i dont like them anymore. i also do not like the stock 91/92 upper, it looks like hell with square head light.

i also love the sides/lowers, whatever you want to call them. they seem cooler to me than most any that i've seen i just hate the frontend. My brother says it looks like it ran into a wall. btw he has an 05 cbr 600rr

i love the stock fairings , the tail is old school , and with a rear seat cover it looks even better . the dual round headlights are one of the first things that made me want a fzr , i've always loved dual roundies . i'm not a huge fan of the single headlight upper , but when you put in the split headlight from some of the other countries single headlight fzr's they look alot better . when i first got my fzr i was thinking of changing a few things , but i can't , i like it too much as it is .

new stuff is pointy
but our bikes are classics.
if i could source FZR 1000 plastics i wouldn't have done the R1 front

I like the stock fairings... but I also like alot of the other stuff too as well as naked FZR's.
The tail section is a little bulky and I do have to say I like the trimmer look of newer style tails. But all in all, If done right, I like them either way.

I like em.. I wasn't too fond of the stock 400 set though.. Now that I've got 600 fairings on the bike, I think it looks much better.. I've had a lot of people ask me lately what year it is and they can't believe it's almost 20 years old.. While I do like some of the newer bikes, I'm partial to the FZR.

Just look at the competitions plastics in the same years as the fzr, yamaha had the best plastics by FAR!

Why not get some beasley glass? It's the same design as stock but easier to fix. Just an idea. About the same cost too.

i LOVE the stock upper (the dual headlight one), i have ever since the mid 90's when i was old enough to like cool street bikes. the tail is complete 80's and i don't like it at all in stock form. i like what some have done, by trimming it down and putting custom lights in (what i plan on doing). while i like the r6 tail on the fzr it almost updates the fzr too much. don't get me wrong i think the r6 tail looks great on the fzr, but i dont think thats what i wanna do anymore (i had thought about it when i first got the bike). i will eventually get a sharp angled new bike (most likely r1), but i like the old school look of the fzr too much.

Yes the tail is ugly no doubt. What I've always wanted to see was a mid 90's 900RR tail on the fzr...Still old school styling, but w/o the stupid box shape. Maybe someone's done it before or not, but someone definatly should.
