r6 fairings

[blade22]

 hello im new here and was wondering if anyone has ever tried to put r6 fairings on a gs 500f, im in the middle of doing this now but cant figure out how to post pics thx

you've gotta upload pictures somewhere else, like flickr or photobucket. Then get the link to just the picture, and when you come on here to post a message there's all those little boxes with letters and symbols in them above where you're typing. The one right under the I is a miniature picture in a frame. Click on that and it'll paste "[img*]http://[/img*]". Then all you've gotta do is paste the link to your pictures right between those two boxes. The cursor will be blinking right where you need to post. As an example, and to partly answer your R6 fairing question, I'll show you that I can take this link to a picture of my bike..... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4066/4418328261_71b4128b8f.jpg and when I paste it between the [img*] (Link goes here!!, no spaces though, just ]link[ ) [/img*] and you get... (Important side note, the actual image codes do not have the * after the "g", I manually put those in, otherwise you can't see the img codes because it thinks I'm trying to post a picture, and won't actually show them. Hope that's not all too confusing)


I don't think I've ever seen a front R6 fairing, I've seen plenty of R6 tails fairings. Mine is an R1 tail. It's not hard to put new fairings on, but you do have to be willing to get a little creative by making new mounts and brackets. You're probably going to have to find some R6 headlights if you're looking to do the front fairing, as well as do a little wiring to get the lights hooked up, but it's definitely a good project. I'd love to see some pictures!

If you still aren't getting it, just post some links to your pictures and someone else can make them appear.

Looks like you're doing fine on your own! The front will definitely need a little work to make it fit perfect but you'll get there. Go to Harbor Freight and grab a plastic welder, cut them up a little and and glue them back together and you'd be good to go. You could also pick up some fiberglassing stuff at home depot.

y would u say that, all i have to do is place the headlight in when i get it , direct fit

Ooh, well if you've got it on there you're all set to go. I was looking at this picture and saw it looked like the fairing was so big that it was touching the ground, but you must've gotten it on there better since then... I'd like to see some pictures taken from farther back of the whole setup when you've got it ready.

ok i will when i get everthing finished , but pic 1 is pretty much that without headlight

I suspect those 2 black bokts are the mouting point for the side fairings. How did you mount the top fairing/the fairing that holds the headlights?

[blade22]

just fabed up my own my cousin ownes a  shop

[blade22]

seamax is that ur black bike what fairings did u use looks bad ass

[seamax]

I want to see a clear side shot of everything kind of together. For some reason it looks fat/big on the bike. But that's awesome that you made all the mounts. If they are easy you might make a small chnage selling it to gstwinners who want to do that same thing.

I have the mmotos kit.

[blade22]

how much did that run u and how long did it take u to get ,i will put up picks when i get it all done thx

do a search on mmotos. lots of threads on this brazilian kit but not worth the money or effort.

That looks great! Is your seat also from an 02 R6?? I need to get a better seat for mine. I bought another one off of ebay, but it in no way fits like it should. Way too long and it sticks up way too high in the back. Yours looks like it would work well.
