Is this a stock fairing?

This has got to be the prettiest GS I've ever seen: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150232246351

I'd love to know where that fairing came from as it looks a lot better than the one Suzuki are putting on the 'F' these days (IMHO). I really like the way it covers the engine casing completely, although checking the oil level must be a real pain. Does anyone recognise it? Is it stock or after-market?

Those fairings are made by TCP in Spain and some were fitted to  E`s by the supplying dealers when they were sold new. Thats the later version with the headlamp lenz, earlier ones were a slightly different design and had no lenz over the headlamps.

Jay?
They are stock.......well kind of. They were fitted to some brand new bikes before they were sold, its just that they are not Suzuki parts.

I love the TCP fairing. Reminds me of one of my favorite zuks of all time. The RF series .. :bowdown:

I have that fairing and the tail. I was one of the first to get it when it was prototyped so I got a big discount. It would cost you the price of your bike to get it now shipped from Brazil. They have a new kit now that has dual headlights. I think it's ugly. Mine was a single gxsr headlight style which looks much more clean.

Here's a link on what it looks like while the bike is moving..

I want that too! Looks around a thousand bucks. Wonder if you can rape a gixxer and do it. There is one that has been sitting in the parking lot more than mine has and I got a sprained ankle. I don't think they'd even noticed if it uhm went naked.

I gotta start scraping together my nickle and dimes!

Seamax , do you need to take the fairing off for oil check ?

With TCP it's hard to get to the dipstick because of small clearance , GSR is snugly fit I see

The new GSR fairing looks amazing  :o
