Does it stabilize the bike at all, just hold the bottom of the fairings together and hide your dog bones? What does it do?

Many years ago a magazine reported that the Busa loss 5mph up top with the Lower wing removed.

Mine must be doing something right. Most of the paint on it has been chipped off. I guess if it wasn't chipping the belly it'd be chipping something else.

I just pulled mine off and cleaned all the tar and tiny rocks out of it...then I put it back...so I can do it all over again, later.

Mine served as a skid plate this weekend at the bash when my tailgate straps broke and my bike landed on mine, dont know how it kept from tearing any thing up.

I didn't realize how easy it is to remove and clean until I removed it to re-locate my rectifier. Then re-installed.

It really comes off easy...

Think it has a lot of gravel in it, onbolt your rectifier and you'll need a small broom for the pile that falls out into the floor, lol...

I liked the looks of mine, but had to remove it to install a centerstand.

Love having a centerstand, great addition to the bike, but I miss the little wing fairing.

It was the precursor for Red Bull! Now you know where they got their motto and why Suzuki keeps it...
