Katana Owners Club U.K.

Considering getting a new front fairing what type would be best

450 gsm fibre glass with white gelcoat finish ready to paint

or

Black polyurethane injection moulded plastic

The black "plastic" ones on the bay are really good quality mouldings

Have seen them "in the flesh"

Company that makes them seem genuine too

ive got one of the black ones. theyre first class inside and out. they even have the suzuki part number mouldings inside.

Yep, bought one of those black fairings and the side panels from PLM. Excellent quality and good to deal with.
If you catch up with them at a show like Stafford, they usually give a bit of a discount. Not that expensive anyway.

Excuse me folks, who are these plm chaps? can't find them on ebay?

hmm found one from a bloke called kwaky racing - looks like the correct one...

It's actually 'LPM plastics' and on ebay they trade as 'kwacky racer' now so yes you've got the right one

If you have, or are going to join the club I think you'd get a discount but don't quote me on that.

Thanks Mate, I am already a member after too long lurking on here... think I may have to grab one of these, mine is fibreglass, so not as original as I thought....

some very early sz kats had fibre glass fairings from the factory!

Yep my 1000sz has the original fibre glass fairing, and so did some of the other owners Kats on here , until they sold them thinking they were non standard..........
The early fibre glass fairings suffered from the paint cracking and Crazing around the indicator mounts due to vibration, so the plastic replica ones will eradecate this problem!
