Are you sure it's a Kat? Kat engine, Kat clocks, Kat wheels and forks? Mmm! It's not silver is it!

Re: New front fairing
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

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

Re: New front fairing
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.

Re: New front fairing
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....

Re: New front fairing
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!
