Title: Will a gs500f fairing fit on a gs500e?
Post by: wayne_hill on March 26, 2005, 01:05:09 PM
I am interested in getting an older gs500e, but I dont really like the looks of it and I cant afford a newer gs500f. I was wondering if a gs500f's front fairing would fit on a mid to early 90's gs500e.

If not, does anyone know where I can get a full fairing for a gs 500?

Yeah they are actually. If your up for the possible challenge you could get this kit here. Which is the nicest IMO.

I really want to hear what the people who bought that Brazilian fairing think. I have searched but found no reviews for it.

That kit looks really good but it would still be way cheaper to buy a gs500f faring set off ebay and put it on, if anyone here has done that, how hard was it? What fabrications did you have to do?

to get the gs stock fairing on an older gs it will require welding on the neck where the steering stem is, and also some drilling and slotting in the frame.  I dont know exactly where but go to you suzuki dealer and check it out.  I think you might be better off selling or trading your older gs for a newer one.  that way you dont have to worry about messing up your frame and you also have a new bike.
