Our Scottie is wondering what lies beneath the battered panels of his SRAD!

Getting under the skin of a bike will always reveal things that you were blissfully unaware of.
My Suzuki GSX-R750WT is no exception to this unwritten rule, bugger!
I know that my bike hasn’t had the easiest of lives, a dented frame and various track day stickers are the most obvious outward indicators that this Suzuki hasn’t led a pampered life, that’s exactly why it appealed to me when I set out to find myself a project. What more would I learn about my bike once I had taken its clothes off?
Starting at the front I took the fairing off: the fasteners were all standard Suzuki items and came undone with no issues. I took the sides off first, the right-hand fairing was the better one out of the pair of panels. The left-hand side wasn’t too bad, just a few deep scratches here and there. The top fairing was where my spirits took a dip, the cowling itself is pretty decent, it’s even still fitted with a genuine Suzuki screen (pretty good going when you consider how low they are) plus the urges that most GSX-R owners have to chuck them away and fit anything from double bubble style screens, through to iridium finished ones. Call me old fashioned but I’m not a fan of either way to waste your money.
