I have k9 600 and want to install track fairings. I found 2nd hand one's from a k6 model. Will they fit? I know that the tail and front lights differ between k6 and k9 but since fairings are for track there are no light cut-outs to worry about.

do a search. i have posted a lot about this same thing a lot in the past couple weeks. it is easy to use different track fairings with just a couple shoehorns
I did try a 2nd hand K6 set. The back fits fine but in the front the airducts are a problem.
MacBayne, I just went through your post rgd k7 fairiings. As I suspected, perhpas the solution is to get a set of K6/7 airducts? Will these fit into the k9 frame? I'm also worried that the undertray will not fit?
yes, you need the ducts and yes, they fit. the frames for 06-10 are identical, the same as the top yoke.
undertray? do you mean the lower fairing? they will fit, depending on brand. for example, hotbodies will fit a stock exhaust w/cat converter still on, but sharkskinz will not. i have a shorty akra on my k6, and i had to dremel some of my sharkskinz off in that area.
tell me what brand and model you have, or post pics if you don't know and i will steer you in the right direction.
STG has a two-for-one sale on hotbodies kits. you could sell the second set pretty damned fast and end up paying like 200 for a complete set of fairings. not bad. i would bet your place that sells cheap kits cannot beat that.
best deal on bodywork out there is armourbodies though. they are $700 at the same quality as some kits worth 1000-1200. remember that if you buy a cheap set of no-name raceglass, it will not be resilient and durable so i n the end, cost you more down the line. you will crash, and top-dollar fairings are top-dollar for a reason.
if you can find used sharkskinz, that would be the bast bang for your buck.
no matter what, though, remember that you can buy 06-10 raceglass and if you need to buy ram air ducts, you will find them for about $10-$20 for the pair.
$200 is cheap indeed, but I stay in South Afirca so transport + import duties will probably double that price.
In SA can get for about $250-300, none of the brands you've mentioned but some of the guys that have been on track a bit longer than me say quality is good.
