It looks a bit too modern to be OEM but damn that's SEXY!

Yeah, that's aftermarket...don't know who makes it though.  Looks almost as good as the fairing on the Bandit Limited

I wonder if that's the SpecII fairing?  I've never seen one but always seen it on their site, listed as a 3/4 fairing though...this looks more like a 1/2

Back when I first got my B4 I drove to SpecII and picked up a catalog.  I don't know what ever happened to it, but if I remember correctly, the kit came with a square headlight.  So unless they changed it, that fairing isn't the SpecII one.

Cool, I've never seen one...this one must be a totally different animal.  Kindda cool though.  I guess the SpecII is more like the RZ350 fairing

Yeah, something closer to that of an early 90s RZ350.  Here's a spec II fairing on a GS500.  IIRC the bandit fairing had a similar look, just not full faired.

FYI: I spoke with the seller, this is a Powerbronze fairing.
If anyone needs me to, I can take a picture of my factory fairing sitting in my basement when I get home, so everyone will know what they look like.
