I'm a newbie to the forum but i've had the SV for two years now. Anyway, thought i'd get some pictures up as i've just had a re-spray in matt black.

AS you can see from the headlight bracket and the clocks this used to have a fairing. Anyone know if I can chop the bracket off and replace with the one from the unfaired model? Does the unfaired model bracket bolt on or is it welded?

Hi there and welcome. Nice simplistic paintjob, well done. :)

Like quite a few others on here, I've converted mine from faired to naked.

Not too sure what you mean above, but i think you're asking about replacing the subframe bracket with the standard naked item? The faired one is bolted at the headstock lugs (two bolts) but i believe the naked clocks were bolted to the underside of the topyoke.

So for a proper faired to naked conversion you'd need...
Naked topyoke (rare-ish)
Naked clocks + bracket (golden hens teeth)
Some kind of headlight set up too. (ten a penny!)

That can is in desperate need of 'stubbyfication'. Nice looking bike!

Anywho, i prefer the black finish. Looks great, lozzo will be proud!

It appears to be, but local eningeering companies can do it :p

Never thought about the 'stubbying' of the exhaust before, but now i've looked round and seen a few pictures on here I really like it. Is there a guide thread on here anywhere or a website anyone could recommend. Alternatively the name of somewhere near Ipswich that could do this for me and a rough idea of cost?
