HELP: Fairing question

Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting, I have a 1981 GS400 and was wondering if there are any fairings I can put on it to give it a more sporty look. I am interested in putting on the upper and possibly lower fairings. Would any fairings off any other GS bikes work with a little fabrication?? Any help would be great

Thanks
~Shawn~
 
Shawn,
Try the Dennis Kirk website (I think it's www.denniskirk.com) and look up plastic fairings. I recall that for each/most of the fairings, they list all the bikes that particular fairing would fit, and you could compare among the Suzuki GS models that each fairing might fit. Also try the National Cycle and Memphis Slim and Rifle websites (use a search engine), and do the same.
 
I have a little fairing from a Buell Blast that fits perfect on my 77 gs400 with no modifications. The cost is between 25-35 USD depending on where you buy one. All it takes is one bolt in the middle, and one plastic tiedown strap on each side. Not a big fairing, doesnt do much with the wind but adds a little sportiness and keeps the bugs out of the instruments for easier cleaning. Easy to take on and off for a meaner more classic look. http://gsclassic0.tripod.com
 
Just a thought but if you check on ebay,etc. you may be able to find one of those fairings off a 90-something gs 500e. They were optional but lots of those bikes had them and I bet it would look good on yours.

These guys have repros of all the factory GS fairings (a great resource for model-swapping) as well as for alot of older bikes and exotics.

They also make aftermarket replacements in kits or pieces for newer bikes - some custom and street-fighter stuff, too.


No prices, though....


-Q!
 
Airtech is afraid to post their prices. 8O You have to order their catalog to get a price sheet. It's not cheap either, however I did and got a 3 year old catalog and price sheet. :? :? Oh yeah, no responses to email.

There is actually a link on their website to the price sheet. Don't know where offhand, but I've looked at it before when I was looking for a Wes cooley of R90S fairing.

Nice bike Ronnie. 8) 8) 8)
Did you restore it or get it in that condition?
 
The prices are right there on the homepage. It is the eighth button

I see that airtech has the cooley fairing, Does anyone know if it will fit on an 80 GS850G (7" round headlight and OEM turnsignals).

Thanks,

Charlie
