Hi guys i'm new to the org. nice to meet ya! :D

Ive gota sv650s K4 '05 just with a top fairing.... just wondering if you guys know of any companys that do replica parts?
Im after a belly pan and seat cowl and sprayed blue.

my inital plan was to buy a full set of lowers but made the rookie mistake of checking the price after i bought the bike... £400! :oops:


any help would be awsome.
thanks.

Welcome!

Ebay is your friend, they always pop up on there from time to time for much less than £400!

hi ya, where in Essex are you? Don't forget the Wednesday night meets at Gt Bentley nr Colchester, now the evenings are light enough people will be going out there.

You'd probably do better in getting some 2nd hand lowers of Ebay or on the Org and having them sprayed. I don't know of anyone who makes replica parts

Yep it's 54miles, go to the AR09 in August

As for prices, I had my tank repaired, undertray & left side fairing repaired and sprayed and relaquered for £200. It was a good job, mabye not the cheapest. The paint was the most expensive bit apart from the labour.

£48 for a tiny tin :confused:

I've gotta respray my front fender. Halfords will make an aerosol can up for 25 quid and laquer and primer at 7 quid each. Bargain. :p

no replica manufacturers of oem bodywork parts but there are plenty of aftermarket parts available to meet your price and asthetics appeal.
