I decided to sell
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-GS500-Fairing-Cowl-/220962742188?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item337267dfac
Purple? That could go nice on the up-coming purple/gold UW Husky bike I'm making.
Wish you were closer. I would buy it NOW :cry:
Already bid on it. I have a couple more so I have mounting hardware to copy and make a new set. Have purple tank & plastics to go with it. Will go good on the Univ. Washington themed purple/gold GS500.
good luck Adidas, I'm trying to save for that gimbel seat you have on your bike :)
Are these hard to find?
I'm pretty much going to be basing my entire build off getting one.....never even thought to check!
used, yes VERY hard to find!
I've been looking everyday for quite a long time now.
Probably going to get brand new when I get around to it, if I dont see anything before then.
I have a Gimbel one I don't want if you like that one.
how much are you asking Adidas? let me know.
Got a PM from someone so there is one ahead of you. If they don't want it, I'll figure a price. Right now they go for $190 + $60 p&h (varies with the exchange rate of dollars to euros)
keep me posted, I don't have enough $$ since I'm still saving my pennies. but if it doesn't go through let me know and ill let you know where I'm at. you can PM me or send me a email at sdavidg@gmail.com since I check that more often.thanks Adidas
How much does this fairing help with wind on the highway?

It keeps the wind off your gauges.

hahahahahahahahaha :laugh:
adidas might be able to tell ya but I wouldn't know since I never got around to fully installing it. I would imagine it helps though
The small headlight cowling is attractive, nice looking and cool looking.
As for deflecting wind: off the gauges - yes, but does little for the rider. :dunno_black:
I like them 'cause I think they look cool. :icon_eek: Gives you that cafe-Racer look.
I wonder who is bidding on it?
Seems same person was bidding on the GIVI case and mounting brackets. I'll see if I like it when I get it. Mounting brackets go for more than what I just paid for the whole thing. We'll see. Maybe there will be more stuff for sale......
(While ebay does not show bidder ID's anymore, probably same bidder as the feedback number is the same and both are GS500 parts).
I don't know, but does it make sense to bid against a parts whore? :cookoo: :dunno_black: :icon_lol:

Sounds like someone thinks storage wars is cool IRL
So now there's someone new.
Who's running up the bidding to drain my parts whore fund????? :mad:
This is for a U.W. Purple Gold bike.
There seems to be a lot of interest in these cowlings. I would like a couple myself for my bikes. If somebody already has one they should see if they can get a company to make a production run. Seems like they would sell on this site.

There hasnt been a single one on ebay since I started looking MONTHS ago. (sometime in 2011, but not near the end of it)
So dont expect to get through that without some competition.
Def. isnt me tho.
and im sure you know that too haha
I have one that needs repainting and a little fiberglass repair, but no one was interested.
(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb442/adidasguy/GS500/IMGP1638.jpg)
The purple one on ebay would go with the tank and tail plastics I already have for making a Univ. Washington themed gold/purple bike with a husky dog painted on it.

Well, if no one speaks up, i will probably take it when i get ready for that stage (month or two)
What kind of repairs does it need?
Mounting holes (easy to slap stuff on and drill a new hole). Some crappy paint on inside of windshield. Might have a slight crack - I don't remember. Do chunks missing or anything like that. Don't have mounts for it but can show how to make some.
2 days left and still goin up? Booooo!
its usually the last one where it jumps quite a bit.
Just hope it doesnt go past what your waiting on from me.
if it doesnt, it will be like an even swap.
good luck with the bidding war tho.
but im pretty certain you will get it regardless. :thumb:
Its about the price of a new Skidmarx cowling. Those are available in the UK.
Juniors, while looking nearly identical to the OEM is really a Skidmarx cowling.
(I have a couple other cowlings in the bike cave I can paint if necessary.)
I ran the bidding up for you.
It is now more than the cost of buying a new one.
I'm a parts whore - but not that crazy.
Unbelievable!
WOW! congrats on that sale DavisGS!!
and to think i had my emgo fairing on there for 45 shipped!
Geesh! Up to $157 now. :icon_exclaim: :icon_eek: :icon_exclaim: :icon_eek: :icon_exclaim: :icon_eek: :cookoo:
Someone is desperate and doesn't know the real value. And it doesn't have mounting hardware!
WOW! :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek: :icon_eek:
I saw there was a bidder with zero feedback. I'm always suspicious of that. At least the top bidder has some feedback.
There is a motor - price now run up by someone with zero feedback, too. When I see that - I quit. Since ebay doesn't give bidder ID's , it is now hard to identify shill bidding.

ya I was looking at the 0 feedback people, let's hope I don't have to open up a can of whoop a**
wow, sold an engine for 850???
I gotta part out my bike and make a profit!
My rims are worth 975 a piece, I swear! Their made with gold!
engine was not even guaranteed
with prices like that, i'm starting to debate on parting out my 2006 bike with 130 miles on the clock! i could have video's everything running and rolling properly. hmm..
