Hi Marvin.

The ZX7 was pretty much unchanged from 96 until the last one in I think 2002. Any of the ZX7 fairings should fit. Try posting in the wanted to buy section.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.

You can make almost anything fit almost anything if you're prepared to modify bits sufficiently!!! Having said that, for the zx10r fairings, if you have to ask then the short answer is NO.

As mentioned above the zx7r didn't change much (if any?) during it's lifetime so you should be able to use later zx7r fairings. I've seen a zx7r wearing zx9r race glass - it might not be too difficult to make zx9r fairings fit your 7r. Equally, I've seen a zx9r wearing zx6r road fairings, so, by extension, you may even be able to get these to fit your 7r.

Good luck with it, and whatever you do don't make a chequerplate steel side fairing like one assclown who was trying to sell his bike on eBay a few years back did - it was farking hideous :shock:

96 on, ZX7R's only changed colours. Any year fairings should fit

Like Dave3 says you can make anything fit but it's up to your ability, time, effort, and money.
I have made a 2000 zx9 subframe and associated bits fit an 86 GPZ250r along with a ZXR 250 tank. Anything is possible.

Sounds promising guy's, but like some of the boys said above and some extensive reasearch i might keep it original,
just gota find the person who has those parts. LoL
Thanks for the input guys. the Kawak family sound very promising.
