Custom Fairings - Looking For Input!

Stumbled across a picture of a beautiful looking FZ1 with some fairings.

Then I found...

And it was love!

I've been debating a purchase of fairings for some time now, and I'm a bit torn. I want to keep some of the aesthetics of the FZ6 in the 'naked' styling, and as such considered a belly pan - but I'm also a bit partial toward full fairings. My issue with the full fairings is that they look really ugly on our particular bike (at least the ones I was able to find on google). Then I saw the image above and fell in love, since that (in my opinion) captures the sport touring spirit perfectly! I'm really looking for a good looking belly pan, and radiator panels for the S2 model!

Is there anything like that for our bikes (that upper portion especially)? If not - what would some suggested brands be for either a bellypan or full fairings? Powerbronze, etc?

Looking at:
Yamaha FZ6 Fazer 2004-2010 Ermax Radiator Scoops (Pair) from Demon Bikes - motorcycle performance parts and accessories

Yamaha FZ6 FAZER / FZ6 / S2 2004-2010 Ermax Belly Pan from Demon Bikes - motorcycle performance parts and accessories

Upper side fairings seem to be known as Radiator Side Panels by TCP Aerodynamics whos website has been down for a couple of days now. The upper portion that seems to be really nice looking is the stock FZ6 fairing from 2004-2006. Looks like I'd be undergoing a pretty large swap out to get the old FZ6 head onto mine, were I to seek that look. Going to pass on that intensive process. It seems that some alternatives might be the 'radiator scoops' by ermax, which look pretty killer IMO.

Any input appreciated!

A shame nobody seems to have any input, but I hope my findings help somebody else along the way if they're lucky enough to stumble upon it.

The less I have to repair if my bike goes down the more I love my FZ6.

Neither of those photos above are a full fairing. They are just adding plastic bits. Here is a full fairing:

I know. I posted photos of the look I like, and want. Was simply debating full fairings, but ultimately wasn't very impressed by the look of it (Feel like our bike oughta be a bit naked, lest it look like all the other plastic covered supersports out there)

Sometime I wish my FZ6 were naked. I have another bike that is naked and the lack of a windscreen is actually a plus. I feel the FZ6 would benefit by the subtraction of the fairing.

I managed to get a lower Yamaha fairing for my FZ6 last September and I think its great. Even got the certificate of conformity.

Sorry with the late reply. Had a lot going on, what with holidays and hospital visits for treatment. I was not able to get the correct color fairing but managed to get it resprayed.
