Side Wind Deflectors

Post by frankiej1949 »

Has anyone ordered or received any of these for the 2013/14 650? I placed an order to Suzuki GB for two sets and have been informed that they are discontinued, find that hard to believe on a new model.

Apparently I got the last set but I was trying to get some for Gerard C. I did ebay earlier and there is a set in Folkestone but Gerard told me he has got a set from Robinsond Fondry for £48.93 but I think they are for the 2004/2010 model nbut G assures me that they are the correct ones, we will see. Mine are being delivered tomorrow. I just cannot understand why they have been discontinued. They used to be on the accessory list as that is where I ordered minebut been on today and they have been removed. I have emailed Suzuki but still waiting for an answer.

I put them on my 2014 in the summer but I think I wouldn't bother next time. No discernible difference pre/post fitting :(

I bought them on the basis that if Suzuki felt that, following wind tunnel tests, they were such a good improvement - then they must be worth buying!

Guess Suzuki decided they aren't needed on the new model? :o

Still worth fitting them. The wider profile must stop some of the road crap getting into our legs. Just a very expensive way of achieving it! :)

Reply from Suzuki saying they have discontinued the side wind deflectors. If you look at the accessories now it has been dramatically reduced. Maybe they think the 650 is good enough "au naturelle" :lol:

Yes considering the 2004/2010 deflectors were/are £48.93 and 2013/2014 £109.00, taking the p**s :D
