Hi, when i got my bike (gsxr 600 srad) the fairings where quite worse for wear, so managed to get a set off ebay at a good price, but they where for the 750 version. whats the easiest / cheapest way of just getting rid of the "750 electronic fuel injection" part of the side panels.... heres a google images picture that should show what i mean. not sure if painting over it (no good with spray, maybe a touch up brush or something?) or putting a sticker over it is the way forward

cheers

Get some vinyl wrap over that whole blue patch with the writing on. Only way to blend it in really....

Very Happy yeah its fine as it is at the moment, but I want to sell it soon, and looks a bit shitty having the wrong plastics for the bike!!

One then has to question why you purchased them Wink

But yeah, you could make a white "flash" out of vinyl and use that to cover it.

because my headlight unit was falling apart (literally had to pop the ram tubes back in after every bump in the road) and the side pannels where in a right state...... and these came up on ebay at a very reasonable price!!

cheers, thats not a bad idea, guess i can measure the patch, get the suzuki blue colour that it is and get something made up! i assume painting would look awful on it?
