    Has anyone had any success at fitting newer bodywork to a 1999 Yamaha
    R1? I'm starting a new project with a 99 and like the look of the
    02-03 style bodywork available. (Specifically from Sharkskinz, though
    I'm open to input on that as well).

    I don't have the bike in hand yet, so I don't yet have any measurements
    to compare to an 02-03 R1. My concern is with change in dimensions
    that will make fitment impossible. Bracketry is not so much of an
    issue. I know the R1's seem to keep getting narrower with each major
    revision, so I'm not certain it's possible.

    Has anyone else has attempted this? Any information would be
    appreciated.
