Default K5 Pointy Lower Fairing & Crash Bungs

Hi All!

New to forum. Have to say forum is excelent with useful tips and info etc.

Anyway.....

Got a red K5 pointy, new since Nov 05. First bike, well impressed!

Just a couple of Q's I after a bit of help / advice with.

I'm after a genuine set of lowers from Suzuki. Been to my dealer who has quoted a price of £384 without fitting, plus £90 for a set of R&G bungs.

Been quoted approx £50 for fitting.

Anyone one know of a cheaper place to buy?

Can you buy direct from Suzuki (save collecting them from dealer!)

For a novice, are they easy to fit, as I'm pretty reluctant (OK tight! ) to pay a nifty for fitting?

got to be honest here and say that there is really no need to pay for the fitting. i have both the offical lowers and r&g's. cant say it took me more then an hour to do both. save yourself the cash!!

cheers for that, the reason I asked, is that the dealer mentioned something about having to cut the fairing??!

Don't fancy cutting painted plastic worth several hundred quid.

Could turn out to be an expensive error!!

Talk nice to your dealer.
If you bought the bike off him and are buying lowers the least he can do is fit em free.

Welcome to the site BTW.

welcome,

if fitting is free let them do it, if not do it yourself, r&g's might not need the lowers cutting, depends if you get the new variation

The new style R & G's dont need the fairing cutting to fit them. Liz had them fitted to her K5 and the lowers needed no modification at all.

You can order direct from R & G if your dealer hasnt got the new ones.
