GSX-R 1000 2017 GRAPHIC KIT

GSX-R 1000 graphics kits cover two distinct generations with non-interchangeable fairings: the 2009-2016 generation (K9 to L6) and the fully redesigned 2017-2022 generation. Each kit is cut to fit the exact year of your bike, not a generic template.

Made in France to order in premium vinyl (3M, Hexis, Oracal, Avery Dennison), fully customisable in colours, finishes and logos, Stickers Project GSX-R 1000 graphics give your superbike a unique look without paint or irreversible modifications.

Which GSX-R 1000 generation fits your graphics kit?

The GSX-R 1000 comes in two generations with incompatible bodywork: the 2009-2016 generation (K9 to L6 codes, 999.8cc, approximately 185 bhp) and the 2017-2022 generation (full redesign, 999.8cc, 199 bhp, Variable Valve Timing, IMU electronics). Selecting the wrong generation means misaligned cuts and a kit that will not fit your fairings.

2009-2016 generation (K9 to L6) – fairing specs

The 2009-2016 range covers model years 2009 (K9) through 2016 (L6), with ABS first introduced as standard equipment on the L5 (2015) model year. This generation has specific side panels, seat unit and rear cowl that are not compatible with the 2017 redesign. For riders on this generation, visit the dedicated GSX-R 1000 2009-2016 graphics category with templates cut to those exact fairing profiles.

2017-2022 generation (L7 to M2) – full redesign

This category covers the 2017-2022 generation (model years L7 to M2): a complete redesign with a new 998.6cc VVT engine, revised bodywork profile, LED lighting, IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and 3-mode traction control. Three variants share the same fairing shape – GSX-R1000, GSX-R1000 ABS and GSX-R1000R (which adds bi-directional quickshifter, launch control and Motion Track Brake System, with no fairing differences). All three variants are covered by the kits in this category.

Fully custom GSX-R 1000 graphics, made in France

Every GSX-R 1000 graphics kit from Stickers Project is made in France to order in premium vinyl, fully customisable in colours, finishes and logos, with a design proof sent for your approval before production starts. No kit goes to print without your sign-off on the visual.

Personalisation options include free colour choice (no RAL constraint), logo addition, race numbers, names and any text you require. Want an ECSTAR blue and white replica, a WorldSBK-inspired livery or something entirely your own? All options are available as part of the standard order process. You can also coordinate your superbike with a matching helmet look – see our motorcycle helmet graphics for options designed for superbike riders.

For the broader Suzuki street range, the Suzuki street graphics kits hub covers all available models including the GSX-S 1000 graphics and GSX-8S 2023 graphics.

Premium vinyl – thickness, UV resistance and durability

GSX-R 1000 graphics kits are produced in automotive-grade vinyl from recognised brands (3M, Hexis, Oracal, Avery Dennison), at 200 to 300 microns for road use or up to 550 microns for easier application, with built-in anti-UV lamination. This material standard is used across motorsport and automotive sectors for colour stability and scratch resistance over extended outdoor use.

The 550-micron option is particularly recommended on the curved and contoured fairing panels of a superbike, where greater material pliability makes repositioning during fitting significantly easier. Kits are removable without adhesive residue on clean, undamaged fairings – preparation with a degreaser before application ensures a clean finish and clean removal.

Fitting your GSX-R 1000 graphics kit

Fitting a graphics kit to a GSX-R 1000 is achievable at home with a few basic tools – degreaser, squeegee and heat gun – provided you work in a clean, room-temperature space. The 550-micron thickness is recommended for first-time fitters, especially on the complex curves of a supersport fairing. For riders who prefer a professional result without the DIY process, a fitting service is available directly from Stickers Project.

FAQ – GSX-R 1000 graphics

What is the difference between the 2009-2016 and 2017-2022 GSX-R 1000 graphics kits?

The two generations have incompatible bodywork. The 2009-2016 generation (K9 to L6) has specific side panels, seat unit and rear cowl. The 2017-2022 generation features an entirely redesigned fairing profile. A kit made for the 2017 generation will not fit a 2009-2016 model, and vice versa.

Which GSX-R 1000 years are covered in this category?

This category covers the GSX-R 1000 2017-2022 generation (model years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022). For 2009-2016 models, see the dedicated GSX-R 1000 2009-2016 graphics category.

Can the graphics kit be fully personalised in my own colours and logos?

Yes, 100% of kits are customisable: free colour choice, logo addition, race numbers, names or any text. A design proof is sent for your approval before production – no extra charge.

What vinyl is used and what thickness options are available?

Kits are produced in premium automotive vinyl from brands including 3M, Hexis, Oracal and Avery Dennison, at 200 to 300 microns for standard road use or up to 550 microns for easier self-fitting. Built-in anti-UV lamination is standard on all kits.

Is the kit removable without leaving residue on the fairings?

Yes, the vinyl is removable without adhesive residue on clean, undamaged fairings. Proper preparation with a degreaser before application ensures clean removal when the time comes.

Can I fit the GSX-R 1000 graphics kit myself?

Yes, self-fitting is straightforward with a degreaser, squeegee and heat gun. The 550-micron option is recommended for first-time fitters, especially on the curved sections of a superbike fairing. A professional fitting service is available if preferred.

What are the production lead times?

A standard kit takes approximately 10 working days. A fully custom kit (design creation, approval and production) takes 15 to 20 working days. Lead times may extend during peak season (March to June).

Is the kit compatible with the GSX-R1000R (R model)?

Yes. The GSX-R1000R shares the same bodywork as the base GSX-R1000 for the 2017-2022 generation. Graphics kits are fully compatible. The R model differs in electronics only (quickshifter, launch control, Motion Track Brake System), not in fairing shape.

Can I replicate the official Suzuki ECSTAR or World Superbike livery?

Yes. Replica liveries (ECSTAR blue and white, WorldSBK-inspired designs) are achievable as part of the full personalisation service. A design proof will be submitted for your approval before production starts.

What is the difference between a graphics kit and a full wrap?

A graphics kit covers the plastic bodywork panels (side fairings, seat unit, rear cowl, front mudguard) with precision-cut adhesive graphics. A full wrap covers all surfaces including metal parts. Graphics kits are quicker to fit, easily removable, and deliver a racing look suited to a daily-ridden or track superbike.
