Question OMO: Please help identify this fairing!

Hi All,
Posting on behalf of fellow SV'er and trackday'er: SVGTI.
(Cos he's a lazy git)

Anyway, Mr SVGTI bought a fairing and screen from the great ebay, only to find the screen sent does not fit!

We carried on with the fitment of the fairings to see how they look on the bike and to hopefully make them recognisable to one of you lovely people who can point us in the right direction of the manufacturer in order to get a screen that fits.

Here is the fairing fitted:





Yes we know its a little pointing up, but otherwise we'd have to cut a massive hole for the exhaust to stick out of!


And here are some basic measurements in case it helps at all!
(The ruler is lined up with the tips of the fairing)




If all else fails we may have to go Heath Robinson on the non-fitting screen for now!

Thanks for looking and please help if you can.

looks like an older design sharkskin fairing to me, but that's just an educated guess.

After no luck sourcing a screen to fit, we finally checked if the screen from my k4/k5 GSXR 600/750 screen would fit. Although the front area would need cutting out, the width of the rest of the screen was spot on.

So one was ordered and muggins here got on with fitting whilst SVGTI layed around on a sunbed on the island of Kos.
(Not that I mind, I get to practice fairing cutting on someone elses bike!!)

Anyway I think the results are quite good:
