That fairing is the Spanish made TCP, its the Mk2 version, the Mk1s had twin headlamp apatures, the lights being Aprillia parts. Offered as a factory option on the E`s in some parts of Europe in the 90s. Very expensive to buy new and just as difficult to source parts for. If buying secondhand It should come with all the brackets and fixings, the headlamp/indicator sub-frame, the dash panel filler, 2 new mirrors and a wiring loom adapter otherwise its practicaly worthless.

This is a Mk1 as fitted to my own (not for sale) `94 E. Problem with them is that the paint can fade between panels. Notice the black stickers on the headlamps, they are to convert the beam from continental LH to UK RH aim.



TCP faired bikes, unlike the F`s didnt have an oil-cooler fitted and they never suffered for it.

Mine is a complete unit in the original Suzuki boxes. Old stock a UK dealer found. I think it was $300 for it. Includes headlamps, mirrors and all hardware. Red with black accents - kind of like Junior's colors.


So maybe put it on Junior since the colors match and make Tray a more naked bike. Perhaps black with silver and red accent stripes (1989 style).

hey adidasguy, if you end up not needing the extra instrument holder, i'd be interested in buying off your hands O0

No problem - but it is like all the others: missing the blue lens!
I think you could simply remove all the lenses and pop in LED's with the plastic mounts. Like the ones I put inside the fairing on Suzi.
Let me explore that. I bet in a couple days I can have replacement LED units so you don't need the plastic lenses anymore. If it works, I'll send you a set to try.
Time for the Digikey and Jameco catalogs! Heck, there are probably stock industrial plastic lenses that fit. I didn't need to do any real work tomorrow, did I?

Its unlikely that anything else will drop in without work, the lenzes are keyed to their respective holes. You will see what I mean when you start taking them apart.

Any ideas on where I can source a fairing screen for this style of TCP fairing

What about Gustafson?

They don'tlist the TCP fairing, but they have an option for a custom made screen.
