Ok , so I recently bought my bike a 2014 ZX636R model. This guy messed up the front and turned the bike into a "streetfighter" or tried to. I want to bring it back to it`s old self. I am just not sure what needs to go in the front .
does someone have a similar bike who can share some pics or advise on the parts ?
So far i know it should be :
1: headlight (obvious)
2: headlight/speedometer/fairing stay bracket.
3: Ram airduct....
Thats all i`ve got :(
Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

If you go OEM, all the bits will set you back a considerable amount. Easily, $1,000+ if you buy new. Racers will often remove the street plastics and install racing fairings.... Shop around for that. Search out local racing forums, and ask about OEM take offs.

Hi Guys , thanks for the info and the welcome.
In the end it seems like all i still needed was the clock bracket so that should put me in the spot to start converting back . Another question , for the 2014 model , what should the clearance be between the tyre and the exhaust ? As you can see in the pic , it seems very close . what can the problem be , bend fork etc.....

The spacing is tough to figure out and the plastics are probably not a good gauge but more of a clue.
Bike was probably down, and converting to a street fighter was probably the cheaper route (no fairings to worry about), they never quite line up perfect after a crash.
Could be bent forks, tweaked head (tucked), brackets/mounting points for fairings, tweaked triple, even a higher profile tire.
If the bars move/turn smoothly, and forks are straight (maybe they've been swapped), and it rides straight and true I don't think there's much to worry about.
Was it a legit safety ?

i have no idea what this guy did, apparently he went into some bushes and sand and obviously dropped the bike on the left . The bike rides fine, I am still going to buy the after market fairing see if I can put everything back to it`s almost original state.Here is a picture without that piece of fairing to give you an idea how close it really is. I m thinking , with the heat coming from the exhaust wont this affect my wheel ? can it be that they lifted the front a bit which pulls the wheel closer ? 2nd pic will show it s been lifted a bit (see marks)

On my 2009, I think the distance between the header and the front tire is 1 - 1.5 inches. Download the service manual and set the fork height back to stock (unless the rear has been raised/lowered as well): Master Service Manual Thread

It's going to cost you ALOT. If the fairing is like my 03 636(which I'm 98% sure it is) it's a 4 piece front fairing (left,right, vent triangle,front) then there is the gauge, gauge bracket, mirrors, ram air duct, and the dual headlight. On my bike you have to have all pieces or nothing. gauge bracket needed for mirrors etc..etc..I would make sure and find a USED braket mirrors and headlight BEFORE you order an antermarket fairing.
