Title: Targa Air Dam online...
Post by: roguegeek on February 20, 2005, 10:30:57 AM
I think I'm going to install the Targa Air Dam (http://www.targa-acc.com/cgi-bin/products.cgi?name=upc_code&format=3&value=24-310B) to the bottom of the bike. Looks nice and understated when in black. After reading about how easy it is to install, I'm pretty much sold on it. Besides ordering direct from Targa, I haven't been able to find other places on the net to get it from. Would like to shop around before buying. Anyone know where I can find it online?

Oh, are there any other air dams out there made to fit the GS specifically?

there is an oem one if you can find it somewhere.  they were $300+ new though.  you can also check out http://www.whaccesories.com  they have a couple, but the targa is the cheapest.

I bought one from http://www.streetfighters-usa.com/ for $90 plus shipping.  They don't list it on their website, you will have to contact them by phone.  

It fits over aftermarket exhausts without having to be trimmed.

Hope that helps.

Link isn't working. Could ya repost?

I think I'm liking the look of the Targa better right now. I think it's the vents that are turning me off of the other one.

I wanted a black one, the only one they had in stock was white.  They said they could get one from England for $125 if I wanted black.  I said I would pay the extra money to get it in black, and they ended up selling it for $90 anyway.

D-Day, do you have any more pics of that air dam, one from the side of the whole bike?

What does the air dam exactly do, and I've got Air Tech fairings,  is that compatable with the air dam?

Hey guys! Well I have been thinking on what to do to my GS to make it look more sporty.  There is this brazilian website where they make full fairings for GS500E models.  I was wondering if they would give a discount though if a few people buy them.  aluizomotorsports is the website i think.  Saw it on ebay.  Hope it helps  :thumb:
