Default making an old bike look newer

I've got an old 93 Kaw. ex500. I'd like to put a newer style of fairings on it. Does anyone know if theres anything close to bolting up without MAJOR work?
THanks

I suppose it depends on your definition of major. My guess would be that race bodywork would be the easiest option. Airtech even has some that are basicly bolt-on. EX500 1987-93, EX 500, fairing, fairings, tail, seat, front fender, rear hugger, upper, lower, bellypan, fuel tank, undertail, air box, air ducts, Ninja, EX 250, 500, ZX 600, ZX6, ZX7R, ZX9, ZX9R, ZX10, ZX11, ZX12, KZ 400, 550, 650, 750, 900, 1000, 1 I'm pretty sure there are a few other companies out there that make body work as well.

On the front fairing you will need the newer 94-08 fairing bracket and gauges, headlite and the fairing its self. The fuel tanks are the same, and the rear plastic is a bolt on deal as long as you have all the 94 pieces with the taillight. It sounds alot harder than it really is. I did my wifes 89 ex with the newer stuff but i also installed a honda CBR-600 F2 front end and rear wheel. Here is a pics of hers before i put the newer plastic on. http://www.exhibitionofspeedflorida.com/img109.jpg And here is mine with all the honda stuff on it. http://www.exhibitionofspeedflorida.com/img21.jpg
