Im purchasing an '88 Ninja 600 from a friend and have a few questions concerning interchanging parts from other year bikes. My bike is gonna need some body work (some cracks, some mounting holes need reinforcing) thats not too hard for me, what I do need though is new panels on both sides where the petcock for the fuel is (best I could describe as I dont know if theres a name for this piece). He said they were covered in vinyl matching the seat, but he bought the bike without them there from someone else. From all the searching I've doen thus far, noone seems to make any replacement panels for this year. Occasionally I can stumble across some body parts for 89, 90, and 91 but not 88, also theres a ton of body panels and things available for an 88 500. Are any of these of any use to me or are there large differences in body shape/style between models and years? Id also like to find some flush mount turn signals to match the rear ones he put on (clear preferably) Im hoping Ill enjoy this as much as my dirt bikes and 4 wheelers Ive had over the years. Any replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
