Title: Track Plastics for a GS?
Post by: skrap1r0n on December 15, 2005, 02:37:16 PM
Are there any aftermarket track plastics available for GS500's? Ones without a headlight cutout? If so, where?

Not that I know of yet. One of my "to do" items was to take molds of the bodywork and do a race upper for the F, but getting sent to Iraq put that on hold...

You need to modify one to make it fit.  

I used a Ducatti 748 and Ive seen F4 and F4i plastics mounted.

Running naked makes crashes that much cheaper, though! :)

Finding cheap fairing that someone else has already crashed is cheaper yet...

need to cut a hole for the right case cover and make a fairing stay.  also need to get some mounts to the frame.    Its really not that hard once you decide where you want to put it.  

You just need to make sure that it is high enough that it doesnt scrape in the corners.

ok, I am not afraid of cutting and/or welding brackets and making a stay for it.
