Update on Gen3 Fairings

[HayabusaTime]

Considering the Gen3 is still fairly new the tank is $800 the seat is $600 a USED subframe is $750 and some new fairings are $800. With this build being very expensive I lost all hope in the conversion. Then I had an idea. I plan on buying a wrecked Gen3 from an auction and taking the parts off of it. It’s ridiculous on how many bikes there are for market. There are plenty of wrecked Gen 3’s. All from roll overs to blown up engines. There are also whole bikes that were just repoed. Sorry for getting side tracked but with that being said. I feel like this is the cheaper option vs dumping my money in eBay and potentially getting scammed.

Yeah, they aren’t cheap enough where I am (much smaller market than the US or EU) but I’ve been watching the auctions, wreckers yards and private sales. I’m happy to but a wreck at the right price. I’ve picked up a few Gen-3 panels but the just aren’t common or cheap here even in well used repairable condition. I have a stock of Gen-1 and Gen-2 stuff but there’s a big price step up to the Gen-3.

You plan on converting the gen 2 to a 3? Seems interesting. For me gen 2 lines are amazing though.

Yeah, wrecks and part-outs are some of the best and cheapest parts you can get.
I've gotten several parts from them over the years, for pennies on the dollar too.
I just got a 2021 Gsxr1000R rear Showa shock off of a low miles part out.
It's $1240 new...and I paid $147 shipped

I had a shop contact who did insurance work.
They were paid to remove any damaged plastics, however small the damage was, and fit new genuine Suzuki parts. The removed panels were just stacked up in their way. I helped them free up some space.

Not many Gen-3 parts yet though…

I would have slowly put together a nice Gen 2 fairing set…

I probably will over time.
It’s not a priority but I do have a spare set of plastics for a paint job and a spare pair of wheels for sticky or touring tyres for a couple of my bikes. I’m only a tank off having a spare set of Gen-1 trim too. I try not to invest too much in spares but I have room to store a bargain if I find one.

Super clean

Bigger tow yards will auction stuff from time to time. I bought a car at a police impound auction once. Our local Pick N Pull sells compete cars occasionally. The biggest salvage auction I know of us Co Part.
