    Wacky you make my life easy those are great photos and a pretty easy fabrication I basically have the same GS except with stock seat Ill have to order my windscreen from Gustaffson so mine will take awhile Wes Cooley fairings seem popular with GS members and with minor mods should fit a lot of GS models thanks for taking time for photos These are for a 82 GS 1100 ez and theyre different than GS 1000

              Thanks, make sure you order the drill bit for the acryllic windscreen, if you use the wrong bit you will be ordering another one right after the first one shatters when the bit splinters it.

              By the way sessionman welcome to the GS forum, we're a very dysfunctional family but you'll never find a better bunch of guys anywhere. Anything you ever wanted to know about a GS can be found here and then some. We love pictures here so any time you have the opportunity post pictures, a pictures worth a thousand words.

              The brackets are available for the GS1000S but for the GS1100EZ the Wes Cooley fairing never was offered by Suzuki, it was an aftermarket only item and the original manufacturer went out of business many years ago, the fairings are now only available from a couple vendors that manufacture on demand and nobody sells them with mounting hardware. I bought the GS1000S Wes Cooley brackets and pretty much all they were good for was to be used as patterns for the brackets I had to manufacture.

                  Greetings, Wacky.

                  GREAT looking bike!!!!! Don't you find that you can usually make better parts than you can buy? Funny thing is...it isn't a whole lot harder to make things right...

                    I totally agree, as long as you have some sort of a pattern it's fairly easy.
                    Dude, the guy from Nationals Fiberglass, saw the lowers I made for my fairing and tried to talk me into producing them to sell along with the fairing.

                      In Australia the Wes Cooley Fairings can be ordered including a canopy from
                      Handcraft Fibreglass in Seven Hills, NSW.

                      They have a website.
                      They are made propper and fit nice!
