I seem to have lost the black rubber/plastic strip that runs along the upper inside fairing between the gas tank. it's like the V shaped strip you might find on a car door edge to prevent dings. I have an 05 600 kat in case it makes a difference.

What is this called and where do I get one?

That rubber strip reduces vibration. Personally, I put some black silicone gasket maker material on the inside of the groove, then fit it back on the fairing when I first get the bike; after that, I don't tend to have problems with it. You can get it from any Suzuki dealer, RonAyers, and sometimes from universal sources that carry a wide array of window seals.
If I recall correctly, that gasket should have a thin metal reinforcement internally, so pinching it down should keep it tighter permanently (or at least until something unbends it again).

Both my '00 750 and my GF's '99 600 have metal reinforment wire that runs the length of the strip. Personally, I like the look of it there - it kind of adds some variety."Pleasant experiences make life enjoyable, painful experiences lead to growth" - cheap Chinese fortune cookie

Yep I just slid it back on. then noticed a bar end missing. This all after having my bike shipped to me from CA to HI."You're going to learn to dicipline your image.

I thought so too. As I was riding home from the warehouse I felt something hit my leg but just thought it was road debris until I realized my bar end was missing. So if anyone has one they are not really attatched to... there are not many bike shops here."You're going to learn to dicipline your image.
