Fairing
22 Aug 2019 13:05
Does anyone here have a GPZ 550 that they have removed the fairing off the bike, what does the bike look like after removal without any mods done, photos if possible folks. TIA.

It would look like this if i´m right with the year of build. Some pics/info of your bike would be helpful.
or the earlier GPZ550

Thank you for the pics, I will take some photos of the bike this weekend and post them here.

This is a better photo I think, just wondering how the mirrors and indicators could be moved if the fairing was taken off.

You would have to buy aftermarket headlight brackets for the head light . They mount on the fork tubes . Then aftermarket blinkers mount to those . If you look on the clutch and front brake lever theres plastic plugs that you can remove to mount aftermarket mirrors .
Check out ebay theres tons of different options .
I think it looks great the way it is though . Not to many gpz like that left . I would find a different bike to mess around with . Worth more stock but it your bike .

Riturbo, you are right, I have given this a lot of thought and have decided to leave the bike as is, Stuffing about with it will just ruin it.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
