Help 3LN double head light to single

Hey guys sorry if this has been asked before. I've searched all over Google and done a quick one on the forums too but couldn't find anything.

I have the double head lights 3ln deltabox frame and wanted to convert to single as my front end was smashed. Does anyone know if the rest of the fairing was the same on both models? And what would need to be changed over? I know the front cowling would, do you think the cowling bracket would as well? I think it came out with two different brackets and not sure which is which.

The only reason I'm doing it is because I need to replace the whole front end anyway. Fairings, brackets, forks, cluster, lights... So figured might as well change it up a bit.

Also has anyone had any experience with eBay fairing kits? The $500-ish complete kit. I'm thinking of buying one because all mine are completely totalled.

Every time I read up on model variations I'm always getting different information so was hoping someone here would have done this conversion already.

Thanks guys

Here are some pics of my bike in its current state for reference.

 

woah thank you for so many replies! Honestly wasn't expecting so much helpful info.

I've got the ebay link to the exact image posted above so I'll try and order that bracket tonight. Thank you for clarifying the difference between these brackets on different models. I'm happy to play around and modify it a bit to fit, I just didn't want to have to cut, measure and weld a new bracket to get it on.

I wasn't to fussed with the back light because I was going to try and modify it a bit. Was contemplating buying the little mustang brake light assembly and fabricating it to fit with what ever provisions my fairings already have. But thanks for letting me know about that anyway, I'll try and get the one for my model but ask if they can switch out the front cowling for the single headlight version. Maybe an ebay seller would be happy to. I was more concerned that the single cowling didn't come out with the delta box frame so it may not have lined up with the rest of the fairings, but going by the diagram above it looks like I should be fine.

If I get the time I'll try and do a write up on the fairing kit when it comes in so we can all find out if they are cheap and nasty or actually worth the effort.

Thanks again everyone.

Kind Regards,

 

Your bike looks like it's in really good condition.

So running with the info everyone has shared, I should be fine using any 3ln fairing just as long as I'm aware of the rear light being different. It looks like the head light bolts onto the cowling so if i go with the single I just need to make sure I order a fairing kit with the single head light cowling and try to get the rear to match my brake light.

Going to have to replace my forks which have hopefully been posted. Now just have to source a cluster that's designed for the high revving engine, leavers and pegs.

I've been looking at a lot of stuff from ebay and webike japan, do you guys know of any decent shops or websites that sell parts for these bikes?

 

Hey guys, thank you again for all the useful information.

Even though the different cowlings won't fit the same bracket, will the different brackets still line up to my bike frame?

If I can, ill just buy the cowling bracket off a 3ln3+ and use their faring kit and bolt it all up to my frame if everything will line up. Then I'll only need the head light and cluster which hopefully won't be to hard to come by. The rear light will still be different but I'll have some fun and do a tail tidy and custom rear light.

Just worried that the front cowling bracket won't actually bolt because it's such a different shape, I think I'll also need to change my intake pipes because they look like a triangle style on the newer models where mines a circle type.

I'm located in Melbourne

Thanks again for all the info guys.

 

Just a little update, I've ordered the front head light with the dual globes. I think it is the same one shown above in Greyimports post - 3ln6. I've also order the cowling bracket for the single head light (different one to the one I have) and the forks are on their way. Hopefully I'll have some time in the next couple of weeks to start working on her. I'll be trying to order the fairings next week, so soon I should be able to share some pics of what is a direct swap over and what isn't and what to do to make everything fit.

Also had a nice chat with some blokes today from where I bought the bracket from. They've all worked on fzr's apparently but they couldn't remember if the bracket was interchangeable with 3ln frames. But they all agreed that all the 3ln frames were very similar if not the same.... So if all goes well should be easy swap over, assuming nothing else is bent out of shape on my bike.

This is the bracket I bought:
