There's quite a few for sale on fleabay right now... search for 'SV650 lowers' to find em, £200 new.

Not too hard to fit, right? Worth giving the engine a clean and spray of FS365, right? Is it hard to remove them again to check/clean the engine? How often should you do this?

Ta!

It's 3 or 4 fixing bolts each side, and some pop-studs to connect the halves together underneath, easy job.

Not much winter weather / road salting left now so the FS365 might be overkill but it wont hurt I guess. You can get access to most places that you'll see with the fairings in place so you'll only need to remove them if you're a clean bike fanatic.

Have you fitted them yet?
If they are the banditmania ones then theres a question mark over whether they are 650 or thou lowers...it seems they may be different shape/size :(

Yeah they are Banditmania ones. Description says they are SV650 ones but thou owners should be able to get them on possibly with a few different fittings.

First time I've seen YDV coloured ones so I didn't really want to miss the chance.

Only just bought them so should come early next week. So I have another week to spend in the garage swearing with my toolkit trying to attach someone to a bike!

Fitted. Hadn't anticipated buying a torque wrench!

They were proper Suzuki pointy-specific ones. Instructions could have done with another run through the translator (don't strong tighten the screw!!) but not the hardest thing I've done. Pics soon.

Yeah, perfectly. Like I said, they're proper official Suzuki kit intended expressly for 650s, whether you could cram these onto a thou is another thing. In work for another 90 mins, then will be going to take pics so you can see for yourself.
