Re: 2006 Suzuki GZ250 with Fairing
I saw those $119 and $149 Buy it Now eBay items, but why the price difference? Also the paperwork looks like it says FM-3 and they are advertised as FM-2, the plot thickens.

Re: 2006 Suzuki GZ250 with Fairing
I think it looks great and will look even better once the color is matched. Good luck with it.

2006 Suzuki GZ250 with Fairing
In the 1980s Shoei made Fairings, Saddlebags & Trunks of many sizes.
These are NOS ( New Old Stock ) brand new and never used but not made anymore. The protection these provide for your head, body and hands are outstanding. Not as asthetically appealing as a naked Bike or using a clear windshield but a Motorcycle is something to be ridden and not just to be looked at. ![]() I'm really surprised how that blue color turned out in the pictures. I need to take some in the daylight as it's actually a bit darker. These come in white, black and blue available now on E-Bay. ![]() The instructions shown are for the Shoei FM-2 and FM-3. They are pretty much identical as far as the mounting instructions show with the only exception being is the FM-2 is 28 1/4" wide & 22 1/6" high and the FM-3 is 25" wide & 21" high. The handlebar mounts are usable but I had to come up with longer brackets to reach clamping on the turn signals. I took pictures of that so I will post them later. I'll be glad to help anyone here. :tongue: Login or Register to Remove Ads |

2006 Suzuki GZ250 with Fairing
I'm going to wait to install my Shoei Saddlebags before I get to painting.
And savrip is right. Nothing to do with a Paint Can. I'm going to have to get that exact Suzuki color and have everything professionally done right. Okay...here's the pictures I promised of my off-the-shelf Home Depot mounting hardware that needed to be a lot longer than what it came with. Pretty self-explanatory from the pictures. I just used an ordinary Door Bracket with a Clamp to go on the Turn Signals with another smaller Clamp widened with one end sandwiched between the larger Clamp and the other end attached on the long Bracket that also attaches at the other end of it to the bolts that mount up the Headlight. I used longer 6mm Bolts ( than those shown in pictures ) on the other parts but I did use the supplied 6mm Bolts that connect up by the Headlight. Wrapped the Brackets with Electrical Tape and I used plenty of neoprene gaskets, metal washers & 6mm nuts with secondary back-up wing nuts. The Clamps ended up being at the 12'oclock position up on the Turn Signals to make it a perfect sized fit. I'm really amazed how quickly and easily this all worked out the first time I did it. If I can do it so can you. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: The 3rd picture shown was the theory. In practice I had to reverse the Bracket from that shown. The Bracket hole was on the lower edge that fitted on top of the Turn Signal with the Bracket hole mounting by the Headlight on the upper edge. :2tup: |

I'm very happy. With this new Fairing on I got my GZ250 up to 82 mph tonight.
