im trying to get an estimate on how much it will cost to ship the front faring and two side farings.

Front fairing and side fairings add 20lbs to the GSes dry weight. So... about 20 lbs.

Less. Probably most of the added 20 lbs is the mounting hardware and bolts... the plastic is actually pretty light.

The front fairing actually weighs a surprising amount due to the big headlight. Plus, if someone is typically selling the fairings as a set, the mounting hardware goes with it.

no doubt, but he didn't mention the headlight, and the headlamp assembly isn't going to be included in most fairing purchases  :icon_lol:

All the forward fairings could easily be lifted by one pinky.

2nd... the large side fairings are very light.
