Confusing because this is a pro?

Would have been built end of 2001 if it’s an 02 model.

ok i just thought the last 4 numbers were the sequential chasis number so #2861 which doesn't seem like 2001 but makes sense 

the reason for this post is some parts don't fit exactly correct

Can you get a picture of the tank sticker ?

It looks very much like a 2003

Here you go not sure if original

Going on the forks/clamps & radiator side plastics I’d say it’s an early one, so likely 2001/2002. I had an 02 just like that, then funnily enough an 05 with that tank sticker. I also think the early pro’s had a painted steel mid silencer which yours looks like, whereas later ones, certainly my 05, were aluminium.

Oh and that headlight is definitely from a much later bike,
