Title: Fairing/Cowlin
Post by: Merkurio24 on August 25, 2006, 01:08:47 AM
Does the new fairing('05-06) fit the '94 gs500e? :icon_confused:

You'd have to drill some holes and weld some brackets into the frame.

It's hard work, but I think someone here was done the E to F conversion.

Oh! I did not think welding would be needed. I  was thinking you could just buy the brakets and fairings. :icon_confused:

Basically, it's the same bike.  But since 2004 (for the US market), they drilled some more holes and welded some other bracketry to the frame to accept the "F" model fairings.

Have you considered some other type of fairing?  Ones that are designed for the older gen GS's?

I like the TCP kit, looks beter constructed and of higher quality!
oh yes, I had seen this fairing, but there is no prising or website to get it from. I know there is a distributor but they don't show applications for Suzuki bikes.

If you find pricing or ordering on them, could you add it to the wiki page?  Thanks!   :thumb:
