alternative fairings - GK71F
Hi All,
I'm just bought a cheap gk7af and i'd really like to stick a new fairing on it as its looking its age.
Is there anywhere that you know that sells fairings that fit the gk71f?
or
Do you know of any other fairings that can be converted relatively easily to fit this gsxr model?
cheers
Mike

Re: alternative fairings - GK71F
I have a GK73 and looked not this myself fairings are typically only available for the gk76 from what I could see.
What I've done is sand all the panels down and fix any cracks with Plastitech (eBay), filler where needed, sand, filler primer, sand, primer and now waiting for 3M vinyl to arrive so I can wrap the bike in the colour I want.
You can organise for different colour schemes by putting layers on. It's relatively easy DIY and it'll be cheaper than your fairing replacement.

Re: alternative fairings - GK71F
Thanks for the response, but the bike is missing the lower two front fairing panels and the belly pan, so i need to source them first before i can fill & respray the bike.
Alternatively if anyone has any suggestions of a fairing that is suitable with a bit of tweaking then that'll be greatly appreciated.
