New guy, will this work?

Hey im new here no where so i will itroduce myself, I have been in the process of building a racecar for a few years, an do alot of trading of car parts, an ended up with a gpz550 dragbike, it rips harder than any other bike ive ever ridden, only 1 problem, it needs to look more like a dragbike to go along with its speed, i found this fairing for a zx900, and was wondering if it would be possible to make it work for my bike if i built some brackets and whatnot... heres the link

www.airtech-streamlining.com/kawiz/ZX900SMALLTIRE.htm

also does anyone have any experience with this company by chance?

That fairing for the ZX900 will be a lot taller than you need for the 550...not sure it'll work to where you will be pleased...the flip side is that you probably could make it fit with your own brackets. I have seen, on eBay, designs similar to the airtech that were for the 550 line. Airtech is a reputable company.

im not sure of physical dimensions of the 550 frame compared to 900-1000,does 550 gpz have a factory fairing like the 1100?

GPz550 fairing, or GPz750/1100 83-85 fairing. Fairing mount is on eBay all the time, and you just need to weld three tabs to the frame.
