G'Day mate,
there WAS a German mob that made the full lowers, its a while ago now and the name escapes me.
There is a search you could try, umm,sprechen sie Deutsch?

G'day also......there is also a mob in France, but it seems they only make the full lowers for '91+.

welcome to the group!

I have a spec 2 fairing for my RZ350 ..... no idea on how their FJ stuff is... Lockhart made a full lower that was nice but they are long out of production so 2nd hand would be your only option.

I had a lockhart for my bike but after weighing all the options i preferred the renntec engine bars vs the full fairing (cant have both) the Renntec's really tighten up the frame and handling besides adding some excellent dismount protection for the engine and your ankles.



Kookaloo!
