Ok quick question...
2001 SV650 in red, Naked version.
Can the fairing and headlights from the SV650S of the same year be fitted to the naked model to make it faired? Or is there some kind of kit that an aftermarket company makes? ____________________ CBT Aug '03 ... Gilera GSM 50 ... Honda NSR 125 Aug '04 ...

I dont think it's as simple as that.
The 'S' had clip on style handle bars where as the naked has 'sit up and beg' style. I think you'd need to replace the handle bars and the top yoke (or whatever it is the bars attach to).
Also, you might want to think about the speedo/clocks. I dont know if the faring will simply fit over the existing ones... ____________________ Like a Yorkie - I'm not for the girls  |

Means the frame is different between the faired and unfaired. This is because of the different loads placed on the front wheel. The faired having increased rider weight over the front due to the sports riding position. The naked is less as it's sit up and beg. The swing arm length is different to. (source below)
In short, if it's the same for the curvys, be warmed you may end up with a twitchy bike with interesting handling  |
I can say for definate the same is true for the curvies. You'll need the front fairings with twin headlights, top yoke, remote brake reservoir, clip-on handle bars, footrests and mirrors. Might also need some work done on the loom for the extra headlight. TBH for all the hassle, why not just get the S model in the first place? ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/fuzzbcf/

It was just a question regarding it
The reason im not going for the faired model, is because the faired model isnt one that has come up, the naked one has.
And yeah don, im definately looking at one  ____________________ CBT Aug '03 ... Gilera GSM 50 ... Honda NSR 125 Aug '04 ...

Red is a good colour. . . .better than blue. Unfaired is nicer than faired.

I think either go Naked or Fully Faired, Most of the "sport" models... SV650S, Bandit S are two examples, they seem somewhat pretentious to me...
Naked/fightered bikes look far better than the rather flabby attempt fielded by "S" versions... IMHO.
Will be interesting to compare the Bandit against the SV... Anyone got real stats on that? not just manufacturers claims...
EDIT: And oh yea. red naked bikes FTW anyday!  |
