Chin Spoiler options for GS850GT???

[Guest]

I've seen some GS850G's out there with Chin Spoilers on them...

I guess my first question is: Is there a functional effect beyond just the appearance??

Second... what parts are people using to make this look happen?? I'd like to keep mine "period specific" and clean, but one of these might not detract from that too much, and I think I like the way they look...

Airtech makes a variety. Nothing specific to your bike but it should not be too difficult to adapt one of them.
I think at one time they may have been considered as a cooling dam, forcing air onto the engine. Maybe even some aerodynamic qualities.
I just think they look cool.

Too much money for me to justify them, but they look cool, I have a lot of spare SS sheetmetal, I might try my hand at fabbing one for an 1100 G after I get the bike finished, I downloaded some of the pics of the ones I like with the easiest bends or can be made with 3 separate pices put together, when I get to that point, I'll start a new tthread in this section.

Cool... I've seen bikes with this done before and it always looks nice and clean. I looked through the Airtech site (have several times, drooling!) and I noticed they even feature one along with the Cooley fairing... Might be a good option.

Looks like they have some full belly-pans available that would work also.

Click on "Suzuki" on the airtech website and you get this.

If that chin fits the '80 GS1000, it should fit the 850
