    I'm new. Picked up a 95 VFR last week (manufactured in 8-94...19995 model). It's a rebuilt wreck with some issues, so I'm working through it.
    I'm missing some of the fairing pieces, so I'm picking them up on line. I'm seeing fairings right around the headllights for sale, identified as Gen 4 for 1995, that have a center section, and a right and left upper. This is a part I DO have....but mine is one piece - the whole upper, from turn signal-to-turn-signal, so to speak, right across the headlights. But what I'm seeing would have a center top piece, and a right and left top piece.
    I don't need that, but I do have to buy the right and left intermediate fairings, and I don't want to get the wrong thing.
    Does anyone know if there were several styles back then, within one year??
    What I'm seeing on line looks the same as mine in terms of headlight shape. There's a divider between the lamps about an inch wide - headlight is one big piece. But the fairing is absolutely one big piece and not three pieces.

    It may be that it was just crashed the once, and they bought the minimum to get by.....the main fairing. It doesn't have the intermediates on either side. I do have a used bottom scoop, which came home in the car.
    The tank has some bondo. Some damage to the instruments, but not too much.
    If only they could talk...... 8>)

    So the complete set off of a 96 over in the classifieds.....that would fit a 95?
