Does anybody know of a decent shop or online store in the UK where I can buy replacement fairings for a Suzuki GS500E?
I have a 95 model with the right hand mid and lower panels with some damage.
Powerbronze has a full fairing on offer for £430, but there must be a store that specialises in the kind of seperate panel that I am looking for.

Preferably in the Uk! Thank you :).

95 with mid and lower ... its aftermarket I'll bet.
Put up pics ... 95 in all countries was naked.
Cool.

I have exactly the same fairing on my 99, and it was brought in from Italy, so this is more of a European thing...

Maybe euro only suzuki accessory fairing.
But it actually looks great, like a Baby RF900.

Thanks  :), it did have the standard (in my opinion rather taccy) decals but I removed them. The damage is quite low and for the moment has been repaired with black gaffer tape. Fiber glass is a good idea, I hadn't thought of it. But with a future sale in sight, I would still be interested in looking for the fairing panels as new.
My father reckons that the fairing was likely to have been put on after it was imported. Powerbronze and ebay etc don't seem to have what I'm looking for.

I would also greatly appreciate any of your ideas on how much a bike like this could (and other similar bikes have) fetch in a private sale, I'm just about to look into it. It has done just over 16 thousand miles and is MOT'D and taxed for another year.
Thanks, Chris.

Thank you very much for your help, there is a suzuki dealer listed on the TCP site not far from me. I'll call them this afternoon. I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks everyone.
