Poly26 or Suzuki lowers, cant decide!

Hi, just about to take delivery of an SV650s - Its a K3, registered Oct 03, 1900 miles, mint condition and got it for £2950. I love the styling, but think it needs something else on the lower part. I'm undecided between the Suzuki lowes or the Poly26 bellypan. Can get the lowers for £375 delivered or the Poly26 bellypan for £100ish plus painting.

Anyway, have found some photos of each, like to know what the SV community thinks! (sorry if they are your bikes, hope you don't mind :wink: )

I agree the pointies do look like there is some thing missing they need some thing, Full suzuki lowers IMO. :D

Poly 26 lowers, as opposed to the belly pan, I think.

Reckon that top pic is Dr Rich's old bike, sure he is the only one who had a blue flame can with the "blueing" effect on the back of it not the front

Suzuki lowers look better IMHO

but think it needs something else

Yes the pointies need some *Curvification* :thumbsup:

hehe bellypan would be my choice .

You're clearly blind!


The Poly26 belly pan is clearly a lovely bit of kit.. indeed I'll be ordering mine any day now. However, their Lowers are something else! They're totally inappropriate for the bike - curvy, flat, and poorly sculpted, they look totally out of place on the pointy SV.

If it's between Suzy Lowers or a Poly26 pan... then I'd choose the Pan. It's cheaper, and easier to remove when doing services etc. The Suzy lowers, as lovely as they are, are overpriced, and look like a blank wall - completely unfinished.

Maybe. I don't personally like the suzuki lowers or bellypan very much, the poly 26 is an improvement, but not a huge one. I do mildly like the poly 26 lowers, though.
I personally won't be putting any of those on my bike, though next year once I have another bike on the road I may put a race fairing on the SV.

Agreed, the bellypan is nice, but if the pol26 full fairings were available ready colour-matched I'd choose them over everything.

Bellypan

I think pointies look better without the lowers.

=D> Clearly Mr BillyC is right, the Suzuki Lowers, lovely as they are are common and I think the bike looks better, thinner and nicely finished with the rather nice belly pan shown above! :wink:

Now I really like this one....

I had the Poly26 pan on my K3 & TBH I preffered it to the OEM lowers...

Then again, my bike had more Mods than a 60's summer at Brighton :wink: :twisted:

I just went with the suzi lowers and hugger and it looks real good to me.
