I believe it will, I think you can buy all the bits as a package on eBay.

Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good bike by screwing one of them on the front?

They will fit and was available on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-V-Strom-DL650-Beak-GENUINE-Suzuki-PARTS-/131465314692 I guess if you really wanted you could go to a dealer armed with the part numbers and get them to order them for you?

"During the bubonic plague, judges visiting prisons used to wear primitive gasmasks, stuffed with herbs or spices thought to ward off the plague - since it looked like a beak... they were referred to as "going before the beak" as they were never seen without it."

Just for information.  :grin:

Bird fanciers can always trade parts with their saner brethren. The number of 650 people seeking beaks always surprises me and I would think a number of people would be more willing to buy XTs if they knew they could trade their beaks for a more sane front end.

I wish the Veek could have its beak removed... I might be tempted then.

Ask dinger, he's had a go at removing the beak from his XT. I think Holmsey helped him...

Speaking from experience don't DO IT. I did and it's a complete faff and waste of time. If you're lucky you won't break the coloured nose fairing. I wasn't and I did. Hence why I now have a full set of spare white body panels and a broken nose fairing. Fortunately I got a replacement set cheap. So if anyone's in the market for a perfect set of body panel + a repairable front one let me know...... :old:

Tell you what old boy. Those beaks fit into almost any dustbin.

Even a small bin if you take a hammer to it. They should be made illegal as an aftermarket accessory.   :neen:
