Advice Needed Please?????

[SAMMY650]

Hi All,

As there seems to be very little interest in my SV650 (2000 Curvy Unfaired) I have decided to keep it but to try and give it a new look, So....

Can anyone tell me if the pointy subframe/rear plastics/pillion seat/undertray can be fitted to my curvy and if so how many mods need to be made???

Just wanna try and get a new, sharper look.

Cheers in advance. x

I have seen that done somewhere, well the plastics anyway.

That's what I need to know, if I can get away with just changing the plastics rather than having to mess around with a new sub frame. cheers x

Is this a curvy trying to cross to the dark side ;)

[SAMMY650]

Alas it is true, I want to go to the dark side. Hehe.:smt077

I'll be honest here guys... I love my SV but the bike I wanted when I brougt the SV was something in the shape of a Gixxer or ZX6R, unfortunately a few years back some @!*t :smt076knocked me of my pushbike and completly shattered my right leg (it actually split my shin bone clean down the middle!) broke my left leg, damaged my right shoulder, fractured my right wrist and I had a nasty bump on the noggin! This lovely mixture of injuries and the shiny metal plates I now have in my leg means I will NEVER be able to ride a sportsbike because of the riding position.

The SV has the perfect riding position for me so if ANYONE can help in the way of advice or parts to give my curvy a new sporty look it would very very very very much appreciated!

Sorry to waffle....just wanted to explain my reasons for wanting to go to the dark side!

i now im not going to be of much help as i dont know hwere they were from, but not long go some one posted on here bout fairings that fitted the curvey and gave it the gsxr look. very sharp full faired. maybe some one will be able to find it ill sure have a look for you.

scott.

[SAMMY650]

Thanks x

I've seen K5 GSXR Thou fairings fitted to a pointy SV, I think SV650Racer did her race bike like that... personally I think that'll look better than pointy plastics on a curvey frame.

Id just hang about and wait on the sale, the market will be just warming up now and March/April time is a good time to sell. You'd probably end up spending more trying to get the bike to look like something else than the cost of say buying a pointy.

found em, think they look quite cool. scott

[SAMMY650]

Thanks Scottjames, any one know what company makes them? Still undecided as to whether I should just change the back end or go the with full fairings....Any views or opinions?

[scottjames]

again not much help their id send wideboy en email he might be able to remember where he saw it first. scott

[scottjames]

as to your question i think you would have to change the whole lot to get the the sharper look. it wouldnt look right with half pointy and half curvey. at the end of the day its your bike you make it look how you want. scott

[yorkie_chris]

Why not streetfighter a gixxer?

(stupid question maybe, but would tick some boxes, and be cool.)

[SAMMY650]

Haven't got the pennies for a whole new bike :(
Simple as that really.
