Let's see some pics of that R6 tail first.   :icon_mrgreen:

By full front fairing do you mean some kind of a windshield?  If so, national cycle makes some windshields as big as barn doors that will fit the GS.

Suzuki also made a stock headlight fairing for the naked GS.  It's something of a bug shield, not very tall.

You mean a 1/4 faring like mine?It's a Targa with the matching chin faring.These are no longer being made but there are some NOS.Just start calling dealerships and aftermarket parts stores.Be perpared to pay $300+ for the 1/4 fairing and $180+ for the chin fairing.I have been trying to clone these,but life has put that on hold till after the first of the year.There is also Airtech fairings.  http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/suzuz/GS500Titan.htm

yea im not really a fan of the 1/4 fairing.   I can get one easy, theres one down at the local bike junkyard... im just not to much of a fan I think.   I was thinking of picking it up just to see how I liked it installed.   Really gives the cafe look taht im going for though... but takes away from toughness....


I just want the "chin spoiler".... baddly.

Pick them up.Come spring you can make some $$$$ off of them.If I had the $$$$ I'd buy them for the bike I'm building.

Got one off of Ebay like the one above..a little bigger though.They are new and cost about 45.00.You will have to modify it with a dremel tool or the like it's generic! And I made a chin fairing out of a 89 or 92 ninja piece...Hope to have pictures soon.Got it for 7.00 plus shipping off Ebay.:cheers:
