So what’s been going through the booth at WetLixx Custom Design + Paint? Well, my spanking new 2008 GSX650F just got its first coat of yellow, along with a complimenting metallic finish. The image (left) shows the bike with it’s fairings temporarily mounted for a quick design tape-off. No clear coat has been applied, but you can certainly see the pearl/metallic finish. The conceptual sketches are soon to follow, along with images of the design.

Hey mate,
Where did you get that seat and front fairing from? they look more like a Gixxer
Have you taken them from a gsxr and made them fit the 650f?
Cheers
Believe it or not, that’s the stock seat and front fairing
I did try and find an aftermarket seat (two-piece) when I owned the bike, but I recently sold it and bought a Gixxer — best decision ever. Some people mentioned the same year Bandits had interchangeable seats with the 08 GSX650F, but I never found out. I did lower the front of the bike when I installed the Vortex Clip-ons, which may be why the front fairing looks a bit different.
