sv fairing lowers.

[kwak zzr]

now i know we all have our own opinions but i just thourght i would share mine.
what do the sv riders on here think of fairing lowers??? i personaly prefere the pointy sv without the lowers, "WHY" because they always look like an add on with that large joining line under the existing nose fairing, then theres the large hole in the front with nothing in there just one pipe and last of all theres the colour match all the sv's ive seen with colour matched lowers(evan brand new in the show room) seem to be a slightly different shade and like i say always look like they shouldnt be there.

I had lowers on my RED K5 since I bought it new and I took them off shortly after I put a few miles on the bike, Awaiting a belly pan from poly26. They look better with no lowers to me :)

come on guys 30 views and no opinion? :roll: seems strange?

[Biker Biggles]

I prefer the bellypan option as well.Nothing like a bit of the lump on show.

Got a yellow K4 colour match is spot on ant you can't really see the join. Its not my fault you lot went for stupid colours is it :lol: :laughat:

SV's are much better fully faired. [-(

IMHO

Curveys look rubbish with lowers

Pointies look fantastic with lowers, for me thats the best look for a SVS pointy, especially if its black.

A curvey with a bellypan also looks horrible.

A pointy with a bellypan looks good to.

As you say its all down to personal preference........

.....and I like em :thumbsup:

Lowers on a pointy every time, it just looks half finished without them IMO.

I think Kwak's right, they all look obviously bolted on. I've really come to dislike the OEM lowers for hte curvy, couldn't be clumsier if they tried.

Sharskinz is the best way to go if you want it fully faired...

Prefer the curvy without lowers, although I quite like the black framed pointy with lowers (has to be blue though.....)

I have to disagree I like the OEM ones better although I bet they are made better the OEM ones crack when you lok at them. Is it me or is that starting to look a little R6ish?

[kwak zzr]

its you :?

[northwind]

I don't think it looks R6 ish... But it does look fat, and a little cheap, and just a bit like an FJR.

I bought mine with the lowers. Looks great in that lovely metallic blue. I think it really finishes the bike off nicely. I went for the lowers as I will be commuting a lot and wanted to give the engine that little bit of protection from all the crap/grime. I don't mind the sv and belly pan but with just the half faring looks like they forgot to add something.

[kwak zzr]

i agree, without a bellypan the one front pipe looks abit puney!

[goonrider]

I think the old shape is better without as it is Retro styled so faired just don't seem right. ..Although I do like the old TT fully faired styles too, strangley

..But I reckon the pointy SV looks better with.

Belly Pans look best on Nakeds :? :?
