Changing bodyparts on XT600E

Hi. I got a blue 1990 XT600E and I want to do a makeover. I want to fit all the fairings of one of the newest XT600E...I love the 2003 fairings....

Is it "plugin and go" setup or would I have to do some metal work?

Safe ridding

xt600E from 1990 to 2003

found this on the net. This is a 1990 model with 2003 fairings, so it's fully possible as I supposed

picteres are from a post in italian xt600.cc forum, but you have to subscribe and wait for authorization as it's a closed forum to avoid spam.

come and and register, you will be in in a few days...

If you do want to get a whole new bodywork like I do on your bikes (I'm only talking about the XT600E) all you gotta do is check if your model is like the one you want your new bodywork to fit in, If it ain't, you will have to get a gas tank and seat that match the same model of the new fairings you want to get.

The gas tank could be one of those aftermarket bigger tanks like the ones ACERBIS does (if you want to get a bigger one) that is compatible with the new bodywork NONETHELESS, you'll have to get a new seat that is compatible with that new bodywork!

Happy riding!

Thanks cyberzar for the help! YOU ROCK!!
