Been offered a well used (ex training school) but looked after gladius and seen an after market kit for the SV650 which would tidy up the wear and tear of people learning on it.

Was wondering if an SV650 fairing kit would fit the gladius as I was under the impression they were essentially the same bike but the frame does differ

Is the difference only in the way the frame is constructed but the mounts etc are all in the same place?

Engine mounts probably, but I doubt the fairing mounts are the same.

cheap, easy-ish to maintain, cheap to run enjoyable commuting bike.

That and I'd found a set of 50's/60's style fairings for one giving me the style of the Royal Enfield Continetal GT (with fairing) but with motorway day to day usability.

looks like I'll be considering a blandit
