    Any places to buy rubber trim extrusions?

    The rubber trim piece that goes on a GS1000S fairing is torn and not available from Suzuki anymore (item #3). This piece looks like a U-channel with a flap oriented at 90 degrees to the U. Trim Lock makes something similar but not exactly what I'm looking for... http://www.trimlok.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=26

    Any ideas where something like this can be found? I can trim the size as needed but need a starting spot.

    I could also use some of this... for the fairings and also to line the seat pan edge.

    Edit: on second thought normal trim will do for the seat... whats the point of the flap?

      I'd give McMaster-Carr a look. It may take awhile as they have alot of options and some measuring may be in order. They have quite a selection of odd bits.

      McMaster-Carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595,000 products. 98% of products ordered ship from stock and deliver same or next day.

        This might be overkill, both in size as well as in how it looks (chrome strip incorporated), but could you consider Vetter fairing molding for all or part of the things you guys want to wrap? Last I checked you could buy pairs of edge molding from www.craigvetter.com

        Hope this is useful!

            You wouldn't, per chance, have an extra winning Powerball ticket in there for me, would you?

              The proper trim is out there (not OEM but the same, in long reels). I bought a yard last year at Netley Marsh Eurojumble. The stall holder gets around a lot of the shows (though he wasn't at Netley last weekend).

                Hey HH,
                If you ever come across that seller again how about picking me up a yard of that trim? I'll pay of course. Gave up trying to find some and stuck the old torn trim back on the fairing. Looks medium bad but thankfully, it doesn't show a whole lot.
