Title: 2003 Gs500 fairings to fit on 2007
Post by: junk301 on May 05, 2011, 01:46:22 PM
Hey there, just to confirm, would a fairing from a 2003 gs fit on other year models, for example a 2007?

Cheers

I don't think there was a 2003 F model.  2003 was not available in the US, and I was under the impression that the F model wasn't available anywhere until 2004.  Maybe you are talking about the European "Airtech" fairing?

As I understand it, the 2001 and on was the same frame and tail so the fairing should fit.
Actually, the front of the bike was always pretty much the same. It was the tank, tail and seat that changed.
Instrument mountings and handlebars was the same.
You may have to add something to hold the mounting for the fairing. I suggest you find someone in your area with a bike with the fairing and compare. You'll probably see that things would fit OK.
