Also, if you are going to buy a race style kit that has the full belly pan and seperate side fairings make sure the bellypan and fairings are designed to fit your model year. A lot of kits were done in 2003 when the 749 / 999 first came out. If your bike has the newer swing arm you will need a newer kit or cut the 2003 style kit belly pan. Again, make sure the belly pan will fit a deep sump motor, not all do.

The wind deflectors changed in 2004 and again most kits have the old 2003 style design.

Which ever way you go for the fairings you should consider a QB Carbon tank ... only one I've seen that is a larger capacity and styled on the Factory WSB tank, looks awesome.

Watch out for so called carbon tanks which are nothing more than a standard tank with a carbon skin on the top area with loads of filler and paint on the sides.
