Officially, as in OEM to my knowledge, no.  However, some have retro-fitted one from a Bandit; check this link --> http://pantablo500.tripod.com/id20.html.  While others were lucky enough to snag one from GSTwin member 'Airbrush'.  I got my hands on one of his through someone who had bought one but sold their GS before installing it.  You could search the userbase and hit him up, if he's still around he *might* have one and you could get lucky.  To my knowledge he made a carbon fiber and a black plastic one.  Here's mine installed;

Thanks for the info, I found one locally on Kijiji for $100 which I presume is a good price.

As an FYI - airbrush is sold out, he has no plans to make more, and he is not interested in selling/providing his design for others to make more. (Several have tried, none have succeeded.)   :dunno_black:

If you can find one, snatch it up.
It seems it has become necessary to qualify my posts:
I am/am not trying to start an argument. This post is/is not intended to be a personal attack. I am/am not merely attempting to present a different viewpoint.

Select the words that apply to you.

Assuming its in good shape, thats a decent price...I paid 75 if I recall.  If nothing else in the wet weather it keeps crud and debris off your shock area, and it looks decent too if you are into the rear hugger look....

Nice, I didn't know anyone made those for purchase.  With conversion and shipping I would be over $200 tho  :o  But nice to know its out there for anyone who really wants one.

With shipping: $142.9290  as of today's exchange rate. I'll let you know how it compares to the Balu Racing one and the ones airbrush made.

You can do a search on items sold to get a link so we can see the item. Sold items are there for at least 30 days.
