Post by: joeyjoejoe on October 07, 2009, 07:52:03 AM
Need parts for the left side for a white/blue GS500F (2006).

-Nose fairing (K6)
-Left fairing (K6)
-Left mirror

I'm located in Toronto, Canada.  I will pay for shipping if coming from the US.  So it's all good!

I have the stock turn signals, all 4, and stock handlebars too, but not the weights.  PM me if you need them.

there is a left fairing from an 05 on ebay.  not in great shape, but its in one piece.

BTW-  why is it parts for the left side are hard to find in good shape, right side parts are aplenty.  :dunno_white:

05 won't match the look.  But yeah, I noticed that too... The good thing is the turn signal and balancer look interchangable.  What I find weird is I found the fairing for $160, but the decals are $125 each!  Whay are stickers so expensive?

BTW, I took a look at some of these online places suggested on this forum, but I didn't notice anybody mention this place: www.suzukipartsnation.com.  The prices are genereally cheaper than bikebandit.com... though I don't know how trustworthy suzukipartsnation is.

Because they can. Pure profit, plus another way to make minorly crashed bikes "totaled" for insurance purposes and sell another bike. So, if you have to have the factory stickers, you will pay through the nose for them. Fact of life. Going custom is a lot cheaper.

Depends - does the pattern switch in UK/Australia?

If it does, I'd guess that it's because when you go wide turning right (where you drive on right) and there doesn't happen to be oncoming traffic, you get away with it most of the time, while if you go wide turning left, you go off the road and usually crash. If there is oncoming traffic, neither side looks good, and you don't either...

Well... turns out I need a front fairing as well.  It's a small piece which helps keep the turn signal in place that's missing. 

-Front fairing (K6)
-Left fairing (K6)
-Left mirror

So if anyone has these parts for the GS500F 2006 White/blue then let me know.

I had another question... I noticed that fairings are not that expensive... but the decals very pricey for what's essentially vinal stickers.  Some websites I been to, the decals far exceed the cost of the fairings!  Is there a place that makes after market "stickers"?  Or am I just going to have to bite the bullet.

One set of graphics is for the whole bike. i recently made that mistake.  I have the left fairings, small damage from being stolen on the bottom, barely noticeable to the naked eye until you are underneath the bike. the graphics were okay on that side.
clean em up and they will work good.

Front fairing is decent, but the graphics were getting peeled up in certain spots.

Thanks.

I have the a front fairing in decent shape and rear fairings in great shape (both sides) from a 2004...theyre white and blue, although not the same as the 2006 white/blue color scheme.

Thanks for the offer, but the colour won't match at all... My year (06) was the only one when they used a dark blue instead of a racing blue.

I bought a left mirror online... it's scratched up, but works.
 
Still looking for the other parts.

Found a "lightly" scratched up left fairing for my bike... it's not perfect, but a heck of a lot better than what I have on there right now.

But, I'm still looking for the front cowl/nose fairing.  Must be 2006 and blue.
