Where could I get some new fairings for this bike?
Preferably white so I can paint them myself.
The ones I have now are cracked and scratched bad so not even a paint job would fix them. Sad

Buying new is expensive when it comes to bodywork.
Most bike breakers nowmally salvage any bodywork off bikes they get and store them somewhere safe. so check out a few breakers, GPZ's are common so i'm sure you will fine something.

Ebay may also be worth a look

Ok thanks.

Someone at work told me there was places selling white plain ones that was cheaper than buying the painted ones that's why i was asking.

Before discarding your old ones as unusable take them to a repair shop.
My old NSR125's whole left side fairings were smashed into tiny pieces when my brother crashed it. I'm not only talking scrathes and cracks here but literally about 10 separate pieces!
The shop that noramally fixes broken plastic bumpers for cars fixed it up and painted so even I couldn't tell the difference between a brand new one and the repaired fairing afterwards.
It's hard to belive until you see it yourself.

The job of hiding scrathes and cracks isn't really all that difficult if you know what you're doing.

So before you go out and buy new ones get a price quote from some shops nearby (usually, at least in Estonia, places away from big cities are much cheaper).

Good luck!

Glass fibre copies should be fairly easily available from places like M&P.

All the best
