Is this available anywhere or only in Germany? Pretty cool!

These are new items for sale in Germany. Available anywhere here in the US? I'll be in Berlin in December. Maybe I should pick some up?

Any GStwins members in the military stationed in Germany that might be able to help us get these?

UPDATE:    They have more NEW items for sale!

I really dig the cowl and chin designs, but the undertail does nothing for me personally...

I'd love to have those before I paint hte bike, but I have a feeling I may end up selling the bike before spring and using the coin for new projects...

The bellypan doesn't appear to be race legal, but the undertail might be a nice way to streamline my bike and fill the gap left by the brake light.

I'm diggin the undertail. This is one extra that I would seriously consider. :D

The undertail looks nice, aside from the fact that it's held on by a piece of tape...

I knew that tracks had rules about lenses, but they have rules about plastics too?

jeremy_nash:
what does a SV tail look like on a GS?.....Id like to see pics of that. and how you did it. Also the SV rear wheel.

tt_four: that's just a sales photo of an unpainted piece. That's why it is held in place with tape. It does say:

Die Abdeckung hat eine sehr gute Qualität. Löcher zur befestigung müssen selbst gebohrt werden. Montage ist ganz easy.

Which says you have to drill your own holes to fit to your bike. You also must paint it yourself. Even Gimbel requires you to paint as do most aftermarket fairing parts. Some require drilling because they don't know where you want it - like a belly pan - or because bikes had slight differences in mounting holes for the extras.

It comes with license plate and turn signal holders make from stainless steel. "Tail Tidies"

Exactly correct. The rules of my (and many other) race organizations require a belly pan capable of holding 4 quarts of fluid, or the sump capacity of the engine; whichever is left.

The bellypan is a race requirement, not a track requirement. Race rules are much stricter than track rules about safety and performance modifications.
