A Fairing on an ER-5?

Hey guys. I was looking up aftermarket fairing options for my ER-5 just to see what's out there. There don't seem to be any websites advertising the kind of fairings I'm looking for but there are a number of pictures that show the ER-5 with a full fairing. See here:-

https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?espv=210&es_sm=93&biw=1366&bih=667&tbm=isch&tbnid=LSJM6zxcI7d_IM%3A&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bikechatforums.com%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fp%3D1807305&docid=FNuO8LKtM58aGM&itg=1&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv26%2FPhil_G%2FER500%2FDSCF1570a.jpg&w=640&h=480&ei=HazZUv7gO7Kv7AaDl4GQDQ&zoom=1&ved=0CGAQhBwwAg&iact=rc&dur=729&page=1&start=0&ndsp=18

and here

Where can I find such fairings?

I've just found out that the second picture is a Kawasaki Concours so disregard that one. The first pic is definitely an ER-5 though. Would a GPZ 500 fairing fit the ER-5?

It'll look terrible, probably de-value the bike and an ER-5 doesn't go fast enough to warrant anything other than a flyscreen fitting. Trust me, I've blown two up trying to find out how fast they go and the answer is somewhere between 90 & 110 depending on how shagged the motor is. Laughing

Whack a flyscreen on it. You'd be amazed the difference one makes to high speed cruising comfort. The fairing kits are horrible Sick

90 without screen... just bearable

110 with screen is easy but the bike just gives up at 110 and won't go any faster Razz

I took my screen off mines for a while, feels much better without it but I'm not exactly travelling long distances with it, just in and around town... Took a trip to Carlisle down the motorway on a stupidly windy day which was interesting to say the least haha.

This was up for sale near me, I was tempted to go and look to see if it was more hideous in the flesh.

Oh and an ER-6 with fairing is an ER-6F, although not to everyone's taste it doesn't look like the bastard child above.

My GS500 had a fairing. I liked it, everyone else hated it.

Okay just so people know, I paid £700 for my ER-5 and it's in pretty good nick. It will definitely see me through my 2 year restriction period and I'll most likely be keeping it longer than that. I want to take it on trips and anything that will make it comfier and more efficient is something I don't mind spending money on. The fly screen I have does a good job but I want more. That fairing on Skidmarx looks pretty awesome.

Ooop. U mad?

ER-5's make an awesome cheapy hack between £500-700, but don't get too attached & start spending out £££ on it because you'll end up regretting it later on. It's a commuter, not a tourer or a sportsbike.

Have blown up two so far, ridden six of the bloody things and regularily knock about on them as we have a fleet of loaner at work. Use them as a simple workhorse, they're awesome, handle pretty well - but the engines a slug & the cooling systems a bit weak when pushed hard.

Also, if you are reffering to the standard power output, depending on year they produce 48-50bhp so are illegal for both the 33bhp and the new 46bhp restrictions - Hopefully you've got washers in it Laughing
