WTB: Chin fairing

[fred]

I just found the Powerbronze here http://www.superbikestore.com/ . Company is in Michigan and US/Canada distributor for Powerbronze. $129.95 Free shipping on orders over $100. I ordered one, I will post up as soon as I get it.

Very cool! I'm interested to see what it looks like when you've got it on the bike!

Nice find!

Just got an email that the part is shipping today, so at least they are quick.

Not sure if you all saw my post in the other forum. Got the belly pan. Install was not too bad, looks good. I can only say good things about Superbike Store. They were quick with delivery and provided good communication on my order status.

Hi all,
Actually, Eug didn't have a chin fairing for sale.
He had another unrelated part, but no problem!

I'm torn between the powerbronze and the skidmarx......

I say use shout on the skidmarx...very embarrassing if you dump your bike.

what sort of hardware came with that thing?  It looks great; wondering if the hardware would translate to Suzuki one and be cheap/available.    Work frowns on us making bike parts on the gov't dime.

[Grommett2k]

It came with U bolts and angle brackets. The U bolts around the frame and the angle brackets had a threaded nut plate on one end. I will get some pics of it for you.

So do you have stock exhaust or aftermarket?  If stock, do you think there's clearance in there for aftermarket exhaust, or would one have to fabricate some brackets to make that work?

Here ya go, folks.  All kinds of custom accessories for the GS 500, including quarter fairings and belly pans:

WARNING:  MOST OF THIS STUFF IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE.

Sorry for the late response. I have stock. There is one spot on the bottom that I think may be too close. If it starts to get affected by the heat I will just use the dremel to cut some more space. Not sure how it will do with aftermarket.

I have one for sale. See for sale section

Parts are off a 1991 GS500 with exception of turn signals which are off a 2002. The petcocks all functionally are the same, some of the later ones have a plastic knob instead of metal, this one has metal and we all know metal is better than plastic Smiley

I just sold one gas tank pet chicken, and still have the other available, however I don't have any screens left.



More stuff:
OEM chin fairing in teal blue
Some scratches, and damage in mounting holes. Most everything is unnoticeable when the part is mounted. Showed damage in pictures anyway- $90






The frame mounted pet chicken I have is brand new, it has marks where I mounted it but took it off and was never used. I bought this last year brand new.


Gas cap with 2 keys- $40


Turn signal stalk and a turn signal lens in great shape off of a 2002- lens is $10 stalk is $15

Was it hard to install?  Did you have to make any mods to the bike or chin fairing to get it to fit?

Fairly simple installation. Install everything slack, and then start tightening things up when you have it lined up right.

Only mod I did was to the fairing itself where it was touching the pipe underneath. Just used a dremel to cut a bit out.
