B-King nose fairing

Saved myself a whole six quid by ordering the OE Suzuki nose screen from the States after a successful bid on eBay.

£65 delivered after the Dollar conversion, it's £71 plus delivery from Suzuki dealer in the UK, well that's the cheapest I could find it.

It arrived Saturday and closer study reveals my first challenge for the BK.

Now, I don't mind taking bits off, the bike: mudguard taillight... easy. Straight bolt on replacement, new engraved billet clutch cover or the hydraulic reservoir covers in stainless, simple... but the screen has a problem.

I'm going to need to drill into my pristine headlight cover... four holes.
I'm not keen so may go the silicone route and stick it on.

  1. Hi, just checking to see if you can help me with a question. I just got a new 2008 B-king and love it... however, like an idiot, I thought it was stable on its kick stand but it started to fall and I couldn't hold it! I've damaged the left tank side fairing and wondering if there are any replacements out there. I'm not seeing anything with a google search. Just thought you might have an idea. I live in Arizona, but happy to order overseas. Thanks, Jerry

  2. Jerry, I did the same. Bought a new one from Suzuki dealer, had no choice... it was £125 as I recall which is about 170 dollars. You could take your time, remove it and fill and get sprayed, I know it never feels the same though. Take pics as you take it apart, it's time consuming but straightforward. Good luck
