    Headlight Fairing Options?

    So I have a '80 GS550L with "upside down" clubman bars. I reallly like the way the HD Sportster and the Buell Blast headlight fairings look, and was wondering if there was some way to modify it to fit on my GS?

      Couldn't tell you how to get either of those fairings to fit, but here's a large selection of other fairings:



      Once you find one you like, you'll have to figure out how to mount it.

        I was just last night looking at Omar Fiberglass, formerly Omar Dirt Track Racing. They have fairings as well. Interestingly they now have one for 8" headlights.


        For some reason I'm having trouble attaching their link.

          Curious on the positon of your clubman bars? You mention they are upside down. There normal position is down similiar to clipons so if yours are upside down does that mean they're installed in an upright position like the stock bars?

              Similar to the Holeshot fairing are the ones from National.
              A couple sizes and colours. Easily mounted off the headlight or handlebars.
              F-Series™ Fairings are available in different styles and heights. They mount directly to the bike without any additional brackets, uprights or arm extensions. You get a clean, uncluttered look on the front end of your bike, and installation is a breeze.

                  thanks guys! that was just the answer i was looking for. and yes the bars are installed upright, not the clip on style. i tried them that way first and the riding position was just too uncomfortable. i love the way they are now, i can ride for hours on end and not have my back and wrists hurt!

                      Maybe more of a bikini fairing than a headlight fairing, but check out the Maier sport fairing. Pictured below on a Yamaha, but it would look just as good on the GS.

                            What's with all the exhaust wrapping? Did the pipes get injured?
