They look like Katana fairings. Not the new Katana, the GS-ES series. Can't tell for sure though.

I believe that there were aftermarket fairings that were sould as Suzuki accessories available in the UK for several years -

Happen to know what light/shield would go with them? The price is kinda ridiculous but..it would be something different here in the states...and I'm all about the 'different'

The price on the blue one, shipped to the states is 100 GBP, or about $177.50, if I could get the shield/light for it...I'd jump on it and try to haggle him down a bit.

I emailed the guy and asked for some more info..

I was just going to try to figure out a way to fit this on my bike:

It's a lot cheaper, and way less crappy looking.

Has anyone else tried fitting on one of these?

Everything on my bike is getting repainted and redone anyway with Alsa paint (freakishly expensive what i'm planning on doing). I don't like the raptor fairings personally, make the bike look like it has a pin head like me. They have been put on, search for em.

Okay I found the pictures of the Raptor installed.

ICK.

I assumed from the pictures on eBay that the raptor was life-size. Ick. No. I will not buy this. Ick.

Have a look at www.evotech.com.my/gs500es.htm

Works for me and who knows, it might light your fire.
