RZ vs RZV fairing stay - Compatible??

#1 Post by Martman » Tue Apr 12, 2016 10:42 am

Hi all, just fitting the front body work prior to paint and having a heck of a time getting the rear airbox mounts to line up. The fairing stay I have is from an RZV - it has the wider main mount, and larger (10mm) mirror mounts.

Besides the above differences, am I correct in assuming the rest of the mounts/geometry/etc are the same as an RZ stay? If so I guess this one got tweaked..

Any input appreciated

Yep. They are the same. I'm building an RZ and an RZV and the fairings swap over no prob. The only difference is the RZV has no grab bar holes on the tail piece.

I went to an RZV frame and I had to grind the spacers on the stay off. Beyond that everything bolted back up. It is most likely tweaked as you said.

Yup, thanks, i loosened the stay a bit more and started at the bottom with the belly pan, and everything is pretty close.

Cheers!
