There is a factory lower fairing on the Suzuki U.K. website:

Anybody have any experience with these? I found a reseller over there who had a new one for 200 pounds sterling plus 65 pounds sterling shipping to the U.S., that's about $475, but it's already painted and has the factory mounting kit.

I suspect that may be an aftermarket sourced fairing, being sold as a Suzuki accessory....kind of like how they sold the GIVI windshields for the naked Bandits and SV650 as Suz stuff in the US.
That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the fairing....but....you may be able to buy it directly from the manufacturer....colormatched and everything...MAYBE cheaper.
Somebody may chime in who recognizes the maker.....

JMV is one euro company that has colormatched fairing lowers for the Bandit.

Here's the JMV lowers......

And another picture, same color, of a Bandit with the JMV lowers owned by Gary in NC.

Kind of strange, I really thought I could find those lowers made by somebody else. I've never heard of Suzuki produced lowers for Bandits....so dunno.

Here's a link to the Metisse lowers...down the page at Wild Hare...

Looks like those are the TCP lowers:

Riderhaus used to sell TCP before they got bought out, don't know if TCP has any other US retailers though.

There you go, had the wrong initials....
Maybe that guy in Philly stocks them?

They aren't listed on his site. I also did a site search for "tcp" and the only thing that came up was 9 pics of a FZ1 with TCP lowers (which I thought were a little funky since they tucked in behind the brake and shifter).

BTW - the TCP site doesn't list any dealers in the Americas.

Paul, thanks for IDing these.

I e-mailed TCP, they confirmed currently no dealers in U.S. or Canada.
