I would tell him to join a gsxr 1000 forum. I'm sure there's one out there like hayabusa.org, but for GSX1000R's only. And they've gotta have a classified section, and possibly a pay it forward section like this one. He could probably find some OEM plastics for a good price, and be able to stay away from the eBay junk that probably will cost a fortune and still not fit!

Yup. That's what I'm doing, scouring Ebay for OEM parts and pieces. When everything is collected I'll have 'em painted.
It takes a lot of patience and perserverance I'm finding, but saves a lot of $$ in the end.
Or, you could get one of the Chinese made sets for $500-$600, cross your fingers and hope everything fits.

you can ebay an get the knockoffs but also you can call motoconnection in Opalocka FL. they deal with salvaged , wrecked and used bikes. Found this place and be going there ever since. They part out bikes you may find a deal on original plastics. Feel free to google them I can't post a link.

He should check out the forums on Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com. I was there for a while when I owned my GSX-R 600. There is a lot more of the "I'm better than you" mentality, but there is also a lot of great information there.

For the fairings, he can get OEM off of Ebay, knockoffs (auctmart fairings) off of Ebay, or he can turn it into a street fighter and roll it like that.

Get your tires from Cycle Gear, you can get a set of Q-2's for around 200 to 260 for a set. Try HondaEast our board sponsor for plastics. Hearing really good things and you cant beat their prices.
