Title: Belly pan for GS500?
Post by: KevinC on July 24, 2003, 09:37:50 AM
I know I've seen this discussed in the past here or on the Suzuki twin list, but I didn't keep the posts.

Does anyone know where I can buy a catch pan type belly pan for my race GS? They aren't required at our track, but it makes sense to have one, especially after the death from the oil on a Honda 350.

Thanks,

Kevin

I used to have a link on my site but it does not work anymore :cry:
I believe Pam of the GS posse bought one. She might have some contact info.

Will Harding makes a generic one that fits on a GS.
willnteri@graceba.net

I would offer you one of mine, but I tore up my mold on the last one I made.  :cry:

BTW - Could I interest you in a set of bodywork? I noticed your GS is rather underdressed...

Wild Hari Accessories has a few.  I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I know I have seen a few there..  www.wildhairaccessories.com    Good luck... You should take James up on the body work, he does a  great job!  Good luck in your search! :cheers:

Thanks James and Jeep, I'll check those out.

My GS is considerably more dressed now - I bought a broken GSXR race tail, and a broken Aprilia 250 upper, fixed them up and put a 50 foot finish on them (they look OK from 50 feet or more!). Not fancy, but it works.

I just can't bring myself to spend the $ on a real fairing yet, and I'm kind of fond of the Aprilia 250 and Honda 250 looks.

when CCS/FUSA threw out the option to use a lower-fairing + turkey pan for racing I had to scramble to find something suitable. The local Buell guys had their pans available for a very reasonable $70. Turn it around and mounted it using the Targa chin-spoiler hardware.

Pattonme,  I am not too far from you in Bolingbrook, IL..  Where do you do your racing at?  Just curious... I am thinking about getting into racing now.  I have been stunting for years now, and would love to get into some racing.  Help me out!  Thanks, Ryan :cheers:
