Title: Windshield for Stock 97/98 Fairing?
Post by: Kijona on January 18, 2012, 12:31:43 PM
Anybody know where I can get either the stock Mitsubishi windshield or an after market one for the Suzuki fairing offered in 97/98 - the one pictured on the first bike in my sig?

Thanks!

Not sure it was Mits.
Can't really tell the fairing (headlight cowling). There was the OEM fairing 1989-2000. There are 2 different mountings, but not sure how different the fairing is. It can be hard to tell the difference between the OEM and the one by Skidmarx. Need better picture to tell.
I do have one OEM that needs fiberglass repair. If same as yours, I can sell the thing and you can use the windshield. I was going to learn fiberglass repair, fix it up and re-sell it.

As these are no longer made, you won't find the windshield unless you are lucky with new-old-stock somewhere or finding a trashed one with a good windshield.

This is it. I think it is what you have. The windshield has one crack on one screw. Someone put paint inside it, but that can be cleaned off.

Yes - that is a GS500 mouse pad. Order here and support my habit  http://www.zazzle.com/lajko1

Okay so I can get the stock one...good.

Is there a larger, aftermarket one that fits on or...?

Crud...

I really like the fairing but I'd really like to have some more coverage. Ideas?
