My first Suzuki and after several Euro bikes, it's nice to be back on something that "just works". Also my first inline four, all of my bikes have been twins & triples so this is a pretty new & exciting experience. Cheers!

I had the same issues on my Triumph with the 1200 triple - 2nd gear **** the bed at 2k miles and it took the threat of a lemon law to get it the part in 30 days -vs- 3+ months they told me originally.
Yikes. The BMW dealer had my R9t for 2 months during attempts two and three to fix an oil leak. I only had the bike for one hour before bringing it back to them for the same issue. When I called for an update the following week the service manager had the nerve to say “it only leaks when you ride it”. I wanted to say oh is that all 😂 I guess they didn’t bother to actually test ride the bike after having it for a month to make sure it was right. Then it took another month to actually fix it. Terrible ownership experience. Hoping for much better reliability out of the GSXS
How do you like the SC Project slip on? It looks great but is there enough difference in sound to justify the expense?
its way to quiet in stock form, I literally pulled most of the internals out including the reducer thats welded to the end part of the baffle. Sounds great now

Where did you get the belly cover. Looks nice.
Also. The carbon fibre exhaust protection, came with the SC. Think it's possible to but it separately..?
Nice mods man.
Got Scorpion slip on.. and the carbon engine covers so far, and rizoma corza led.
Waiting for the rear and front fender carbon.
Cheers dude… The bellypan is an OE Suzuki item but from the earlier model, fits straight on as long as you use the same 4 brackets from the earlier bike to. You can use your original brackets if your willing to modify them slightly. Plus reroute coolant overflow pipe on the right hand side. Still shocked that Suzuki never used the earlier type rather than a half arsed beauty panel thats the same as the Katana! And really doesn’t even resemble a bellypan.
The SC project isn’t cheap and comes complete with the Carbon guard. Build quality is exceptional even if it is still a little on the quiet side. I’ve removed the reducer and some of the packaging to give it some more pep without being obnoxious. And also flattened the carbon guard with 1200 wet and dry so it looks more like satin/matt carbon Was way to shiny for my liking. Its now the same finish as the end can. Not sure if the measurements would stack up if you just wanted the carbon guard. it would work if you were prepared to make some adjustments. I Still liked my old cobbled together Carbon shorty, even if it was a tad bit louder

If I used the earlier model bellypan and brackets. Would I still need to reroute the coolant lines or make any other modifications?
only routing the expansion tank overflow so it clips in to the new bellypan. Nothing major! I also used a cable tie lower down to make sure nothing comes into contact with the lower part of the headers. Hope that helps

Did you use your original brackets or did you use the the brackets from the earlier model?
brackets from the earlier bike were used, the later brackets will work but they would need to be modified to fit perfectly. I was lucky enough to get all the hardware still attached to my bellypan so it was a simple transition
