  2. We were chatting and i WhatsApp’d him about a snotter on eBay. He responded with the one I got. It was more than I had budgeted but I had looked at it previously (on line). A little gentle encouragement and it was the one to have. :)

  3. Be gentle with the white panels around the pillion seat, the ones with the '1000' on them, they are no longer available new OEM

    I managed to find new OEM ones on ebay, at good prices, the left side, with the key hole, came from Slovakia

  4. Thanks. The snotter had a damaged tail and I checked and couldn’t find any spares. So, quite uncharacteristically for me I decided to get the best one I could find figuring I would spend less over time.
     
  5. If you are considering using it for track days, I would recommend getting an aftermarket fairing kit from MFS in China, panel fitment is excellent, and they are like for like panels, reasonable price too

    The chap I got mine from has some brand new genuine fairing parts inc nose cone etc for sale. Not yet advertised. As the ones on my bike are pretty good I passed. Let me know if you want me to contact him for you.

  10. I may need a right side lower section, the white bit that says Suzuki on it, whichever moron fitted the exhaust, didn't pay attention to where the clamp bolt was sitting
