    Sounds like your model is a 2KR, which means you can put on fairings from any other 2KR. You might also be able to replace the front cowl and side fairings with those from a 3LN1 (as i believe they had the twin headlight set up that your bike has), but I'm not sure about the tail fairings.

    Can anyone else confirm?

    On a side note, the front cowl from the single headlight models (3ln2 and 3ln3) will NOT fit on the front bracket / sub frame for the twin headlights models (2KR, 3ln1). If you want to do this you will have to change the bracket / subframe, as well as the headlight (obviously), and the screen.

    The subframe from the twin headlights mounts exactly the same to the frame as the one for the single headlight, so no modification of the frame will be required if you replace everything else.
    The instrument panel (speedo, tacho, etc) also fits both brackets / subframes, and requires no modification.

    Note: I have no idea how well the side fairings from different models match up with the front cowl from opposing models. And I have no idea of how well the side fairings line up with the mounting points on the wrong model bike.

    yeah cheers for that guys, i dont think its a 2kr tho, it sais "limited eddition" on the fairing if any of that helps, and i was mainly looking at changing the head fairing as the original one is really tall.

    well cheers for all your help anyway guys

    To my knowledge, there were no "LE" model 250's. Stickers don't mean squat.

    But hey, what do I know.
