Retro fit, Curvy bodywork on Pointy?

[rictus01]

Now I've been around the SV for a long time and seen just about everything done with them, but one thing I've not seen, and would be interested in would be a pointy retro fitted with curvy bodywork, given both are fun bikes to ride it's only a cosmetic thing, as it's now harder to find a decent curvy and personally the pointy design isn't to my taste it could be a good way of retaining the design aspect of the earlier model .....anyone seen one, or tried it ?

Cheers Mark.

I don't think it would look good, the best bit of the curvy is the frame, not the bodywork.

that's the thing about taste, everyone has their own, I doubt I'd like it actually, but never having seen one I thought I'd ask.

Might have a play with photoshop at some point.

Cheers Mark.

I think it will look odd, but perversely can't wait to see it...

The curvy frame is more attractive, looks european (if thats possible)

This is something that I have been saying for ages, well sort of. I do not like the curvy fairing and body work, but really like the Pointy plastics and rear light unit.

Like Chris, I think that the curvy frame looks really nice. However, I would love to see one built up with modern running gear and even FI. It would also need a deep braced swing arm and USD forks though.

There I said it, I like the curvy frame more than the pointy frame. Hmm, time to get another job and start a new project, off to check E-Bay for curvy frames! :smt080

I agree, but the bodywork is soooo ugly.

I've seen a curvy frame with a pointy sub frame, USD forks and streetfighter style lghts that looked really good, but those are few and far between.

You'd have to keep the tank the same for sure, or create a custom one.
Pointy has a much nicer ass IMO
Nose cone - neither are the prettiest but the lines of the pinty frame obviously favour the pointy plastics.

Still it'd be an interesting one to see, may be more achievable if a race fairing was used.

I thought someone on here did it. Was a blue one.

Or was it pointy fairings on a curvy? Can't remember exactly now but hopefully that might jog someones memory...
