fairing on a naked

Hi All

just wondering if anyone has put a stock fairing on a naked..the bikini one not full..if so how hard was it and what did it set you back ?

cheers

I wouldn;t bother mate. Just get yourself a decent screen for the naked. The half fairing looks okay, but it vibrates like you wouldn't believe

Mine doesn`t vibrate yet but I have to agree with Reddog / get yourself a screen & you can always take it on and off when you want .

Hi Tommo,

Unless you bought another faired bike to get all the parts from, I think it would cost you a small fortune. You have not only to find the bikini fairing (possiblly repair and paint it to match), you need the dash parts, the inner fairing, the headlight assemble, the inner metal frame it all attaches to, probable a new wiring loom, the correct bolts/fasteners, and I don't know what else, it sounds like a very expensive exercise.


Even though mine has the full upper and lowers, I don't think I'd be wanting to do this to change to what is not a bad looking and more unique bike.

IMHO leave it in the natural (naked) look.

It is very expensive going either way as i just priced it all up to go from faired on my K5 1200s to naked and it was over $1800 all up for new parts from suzuki AUS or just over $1200 for new parts from a dealer overseas that i got a quote from

It is expensive as the instrument cases need changing and the top triple clamp is also different along with all sorts of brackets and different wiring for the lighting on my model

Still want to do mine but i will most probab ly buy some bit from E-Bay and do it as a project over the next year when i have accumulated all the bits needed

thanks for the replies chaps, I guess Ill look for a screen..any sugestions ?..or better still any pictures of a naked with a screen
