Title: pictures of bike with new fairing
Post by: gs2sv on January 21, 2004, 06:19:41 PM
click on the link to see pictures of my wifes 2002 gs with it's new fairing. the fairing came off a buell lightning x1. it was originally red so it got a new paintjob as well as getting the top cropped about an inch and a half. the bike also recently got new pirelli sport demons, driving lights and bar ends courtesy of my sv650. let me know what you think of the fairing.

Looks fantastic :thumb:  but I also have a Blast flyscreen. So I am biased.
I like those mirrors. What are they from?

Nice ride!  I like the driving lights.  What kind are they, and do they drain the battery? :cheers:

thanks for posting the pics Gru. the driving lights came from pepboys, I wired the switch to the headlight so that it only gets power while the key is on and so they also go off when you hight the high beam. I haven't noticed them draining the battery any more than usual either. also the pirelli size on the rear is a 140/70, the pirelli website only lists a 140/80 but they do make them. oh yeah, the mirrors are cheap ones I found at a dealer, they sat to high so I bent the stems down to make them a little lower profile, otherwise they looked a bit odd. I think the brand is Motoboss. thanks for all the good comments everyone.
