Removal of a 1982 gs450 front fairing

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the gs forum and to the gs riding experience. I am a college student and I just got my 82 450 (don't know the type) about 3 months ago to ride to home to school. It rides pretty well, the only real complaint I have is the front fairing....it looks kinda tacky because it is missing the mirror. I was wondering if anyone know how I can replace the front fairing for a more traditional front headlight and what parts I would need.

Thanks,

Lan

need more info or a few pictures. do you know what brand of fairing it is? Are you sure that the headlight is part of the fairing, or is it a "universal" type that uses the stock head light? If you are riding any kind of distance and possibly in diverse weather conditions, does the comfort a fairing can offer outweigh the embarassment of being tacky?

suzuki fairing

Thanks guys for the respond. The headlight is fixed into the faring... it looks like the original factory fairing. All the lights are mounted on it. I guess what i would need is another light mount...new headlights and turn light signal. Do anyone know where I can find a cheap one so I can mod this bike to look like one without the fairing. I'll try to post some pictures when I can get a hold of a digi cam.
