I was wondering if there are any fairings i can put on my 1984 gsx 750 ef?.I made into a naked bike. I need something to fit a 7 or 8 inch round?.I was also wondering if i could change my handle bars to make them higher or use a spacer?.

Rotty
 
You could always fit one off an 1150. But it depends on how much fairing you want??

Thanks for that info.What year of 1150 should i look at.I was looking at a ducati and it looks like it might work with some mods?.
 
Rotty, I agree with Dink in that it matters what size fairing you want. For example, I wanted a small, quarter fairing on my 1000, and had two to choose from. These were my options:

Let us know what bike you're riding, and what size fairing you have in mind. There are many options options out there.

Oops, I see the model. Sorry, I shoulda read everything. Hope you got some ideas though.
 
thanks

thanks

Thanks alot for the info.I like the fairing you have on your bike.I don`t want it to big thats why i changed the look of my bike.My bike is a 1984 gsx 750 ef.It had the full fairing and side covers.

1150 fairings are all the same so any year will do, only difference are including lowers or not. Be sure to get the brackets with the fairing.

Also look into National Cycle's "F" series. They're designed for newer round light standards like the Bandit and SV's. I had their largest size on my '79. It wasn't difficult to mount. JC Whitney offers them.

I was looking at that MOnster fairing from duc.It looks great and i think i could make it work.

Thanks to all.
 
That is a awesome site..Thanks alot they have alot to look at.

I like there stuff ,little spendy to get to the States. But hey if you want something bad enough we always find a way!
 
I picked up both fairings on ebay. The red one was identifed by a member here as a universal fairing sold by skidmarx. Its just like the yellow one here. http://www.skidmarx.co.uk/fairings_uni.htm. Lots of ideas for you, too.

The smoked fairing was made by Tracy. They are no longer in business. Gotta watch ebay to find 'em.

I added a vintage 1/4 fairing to my 1100. It's a big job, but can be done. There is no fairing that will fit over the large 8" GS headlight assembly. I swapped the original for a 7" headlight off a Yamaha Virago for a more proper fit. If you search in the appearence section you will find a post on exactly how I mounted the fairing.

Sure there is............the 1150 fairing\\:D/ \\:D/

OK, does the 1150 fairing fit over a GS1100E 8" headlight AND bucket?? You need a true 9" opening for the headlight to fit inside the opening.

The 1150 has a big hole for the headlight, measures 204mm, just the light the opening is larger.
