Maier makes a really similar headlight fairing with square or round headlight openings. I had one on my GS way back when. They're cheap too - and they've been makin' 'em unchanged for decades so there are lots of dirt cheap used ones out there.


Thanks jk...I'm pretty fond of the green myself! The early generation ZRX's had a louder green w/purple stripes. I really like the softer metallic green with the gray stripes on these later Rex's. From what I understand though it's a bitch to get this paint color right...so I'm really hoping to keep it as clean as it is!!

Thanks Skiv. I'm sure we'll catch up when the weather gets warm. This thing is a far cry from the GS...but while the extra power is nice, I do miss the GS. It was just so damn solid and predictable. Tough to explain if you never rode the bike, but it was so connected to the road...it just had great feel. I was confident on that bike and it was easy to go way faster on it than anyone expected me too...but it was underpowered and I always cursed it for that. I'm sure I'll get used to the extra hundred pounds and eighty horsepower soon though!!
