Just thought Id introduce myself as Im new on here. My name is David and I come from Fife in Scotland.

I have my heart totally set on one of these bikes and I am actually going to see one on Sunday. It seems like a good enough bike from what I know about them.

The only problem is that the seller has recently split one of the fairings (he is going to send me pics of the split)

The bike is a fully faired 07 in Blue with 8k on the clock. It has a years mot and 6 months tax and fully documented service history. He wants £2500 but I could probably get that down considerably due to the split.

Without seeing it, are these splits repairable? If not how much for a new fairing. I dont know exactly where the split is yet but suspect its the biggish part where your knees would be (If that helps :oops:)

Dave (not past his test yet but working on it)

Howdoo mate, yeah they are repairable, either diy or professional, or you can get replacements either oem, ie suzuki or after market fairings, not sure on price, 2-3 hundred, or secondhand, mebe on here or ebay, For example http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUZUKI-SV650-LOWER-SIDE-FAIRING-KIT-K3-K10-FAIRINGS-/120693671181?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item1c19e7450d sorry you wanted blue, costs more as is the best colour http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUZUKI-SV650S-Sport-Fairing-Lowers-Fitting-Kit-Blue-/370493931975?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item564328c1c7 If you do get the bike and do buy a set of fairings make sure the 3 letter colour code is the same, hth, andy.
