the bottom one looks a lot like the raptor fairing which you can get off of e-bay. i was looking at them a while ago, but ending up getting an awesome deal on a baldor 1/2 fairing. here is the link for the raptor.

it actually says international shipments upon request. i think they wanted like $50 for shipping, so fairing $45 + shipping $50 or so. not a bad deal if you ask me.

The second pictured fairing is one I got from demontweeks in the UK (google it, I can't recall their link at the moment) and had on my GS for a little while. The fairing was like $55 US and the shipping was almost another $50. Let me be quite blunt - it's an absolute piece of crap and not even close to being worth it in the look improvement. There were no installation instructions whatsoever, the wiring had to be converted, the manufacturers have a ghetto website and were no help, and the thing shattered when my bike fell over. I would strongly suggest going with something else, or using the $100 you'd spend on this for something solid.

Well.....

:o  that kinda sways me toward a buell headlight conversion :thumb:

Good call - as soon as I slapped this piece of plastic poo on my GS, I kinda wished I had held out and put in the effort to install the Buell conversion. I'm envious of you because you might get the chance ;)

Info on Buell conversion?

Here's mine.  They are available at a HD dealer for around $60.  If you get some pm me and I'll tell you how to wire them.

I got the idea from antibody's freaking ridiculously cool bike seen here:   (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7435&start=0)I also used the same type of mounting arms.  Again, if you get some I'll tell you an easy way to make them that only requires a propane torch, a vice, and some drill bits.

Acerbis also makes some cool headlight/fairing combo units.  Here's one of theirs on a Duc.
