Hi all, Will a 2005 nose cone fit my 2003 749, I read somewhere they are different if so will it not fit? Is there much difference? Ady
You should be able to get it to fit - I've had both styles fitted to my '05 999, but the upper side fairing edge won't quite line up as it should. It's barely noticeable though and I like the look of the earlier nose with the extra vents, as you can see in my avatar... Just depends how fussy you are really? :smile:
Thanks for that domRusty just that there is a spare the same as mine on Fleabay but a later model, at a steal, be handy as a spare
If you're fitting a 05 nose to a 04 bike i think you will need later brackets. Also the screens are different.
That's a good point: it may not be safe to assume that a later nose will fit ok on the earlier bike, just because the earlier nose will fit on the later model... But I'd be surprised myself as there didn't seem much difference and no particular difficulty in mounting it. Screens are definitely not the same - different hole pattern for the well-nuts.
Good news!! It was described as off a 2006 749 BUT it was the earlier one with the double slot in the nose!! Result! Have spare now in same colours for only £25 delivered
