I didnt do that just for a question to be answered. I have done some home work and the only results i have found is that an 03 -04 GSXR 1K fender fits on a Gen 2 busa. all others speak on grinding off one of the ears on the Gen 1 and some modified bracket. if i can eliminate doing all that i would like to. Now I have learned in life why allow someone to hit pitfalls continuely if there is something i can do or advise them how to do better. maybe you didnt get that memo, but i just sent it. Thanks for the warm welcome.

I don't know but someone will come up on the net and get you an answer I'm sure. Ignore the smart ass folks here.

I think everybody needs to calm down...... Its really not that serious to answer your question no there isn't a gsxr 1000 or 600 front fender that will bolt on directly to a gen1. There are several that will bolt on a gen2. Just like your research said you will have to grind and fab up brackets to mount a gsxr fender on a gen1. There are a couple companies that make carbon fiber front fenders for a gen1 that resemble the gsxr look but they are in the upwards of $300. There is a step by step thread on another busa forum that shows in detail how to grind and fab up the brackets. That's what I did and it turned out pretty nice and cost less than $100 for the fender(ebay) and materials needed.

Gen-II shares a couple things with the GSXR1000. We've debated the looks before of the fender on the busa, but I really like mine.

We sell them, so I got a unpainted one (from myself) and sent it to my painter. He painted it to match the '08 and I squeezed it on. Perfect fit. Personally I love the look. Didn't anticipate that it shows off the front wheel and rotors a lot more, which is added bonus.

You can put a Gen-II fork on a Gen-I. See problem solved.

You could always swap to gen2 forks then the fender will mount up easy!

Like they said, gotta get a lil dirty to make it work, goodluck

Yup those are the CF front fenders I was talking about that had a similar GSXR look to them. Coerce and Magical Racing both make a front fender but like I mentioned before they are around the neighborhood of $300. You could buy a set of Gsxr front forks or Gen 2 forks for that price and be able to do the swap and upgrade your front end for that price though
