Might not actually fit too well, there's a ton of crap wiring connectors etc etc inside the headlight bucket. I'd stick with the original.
The gauge cluster cover used to be available from suzuki - basically new, its a often damaged part. You might need to buy it from a dealer.
Cool.

Welcome to the forum! So sorry to know about your crash but I'm glad you are OK.

Where are you located? In many places in the world, if you google "OEM Suzuki parts" it should turn up at least one website. My favorite here in the States is motosport.com.

I would also definitely look on eBay for replacement parts.
Superbike bars, '04 GSXR headlight & cowl, DRZ signals, 1/2" fork brace, 'Busa fender, stainless exhaust & brake lines, belly pan, LED dash & brake bulbs, 140/80 rear hoop, F tail lens, SV650 shock, Bandit400 hugger, aluminum heel guards & pegs, fork preload adjusters, .75 SonicSprings, heated grips

Thank you for responding,im in Romania unfortunately,so the shipping would be as expensive as the part itself,my best bet is with second hand pieces but the headlamp and dashboard
are sooo wanted

The Buddha

In a lot of cases the used parts sellers may not even ship international. I would imagine you need to find it in Romania, new or used.
The gauge cluster back cover used to be $35 or so USD.
Headlight and bucket - you might want to consider a day maker LED types, but you would need to fabricate something to make it fit.

Cool
Buddha.

Have you ever considered 3d printing? If you need one I maybe able to model one for you and you can order a print from local store or some 3d printing company does international shipping

i dont want to use up your time with my silly crash,i found a seller that sells both the entire dashboard and the headlight for like 150 dollars converted,but it really sounds really cool if that could be done,to insert a 3d print,i found a 3d store near me but still

There are some excellent gauges available - I really really like this one - I cant find it now. It was a round sealed off one with a sort of 6 way divided up display and a center with each part showing one function and supposedly universal - I wanted to plug it into a bolt. It sadly had a 24 pin jae mx35 while the bolt has a 16 pin and the stupid female jae mx35's are not available in a wiring pigtail end, only solder in style.

This is a good one.

Also look around on ebay/amazon etc. You'd come across million of these - complete with carrier bracket etc.

Cool.

This even looks like a GS gauge cluster -
These are all usually plug and ... pray but sometimes you can map them wire for wire, and if its a bit off, you can pull the pin and swap it.
FWIW I have run a GS gauge cluster on a honda nighthawk S and a yamaha headlight. These things fit like they were made for it.
