Seen gsxr & ducati rear pods fitted and RS250 front fairing, but just about anything could be fitted, it's just a case of fabricating the mounts.
Cheers Mark.

Check out SV Rider's SV of the Month section and you'll find 2 absoluet peaches, one with a Monster tail and one with an MV F4 tail. The F4 tail should be a fairly easy fit on the standard subframe, with a bit of modification at the front, but when I offered mine up it looked huge- made the bike look fat to me. The SVOTM bike looks amazing but I couldn't get past the width, so I decided against it.

Maybe so but the home made one off carbon tank makes up for it

I don't rally think it suits the bike... Unlike the tail, which is perfect. But I can't fault the workmanship, absolutely beautiful work.
It's quite funny, I keep on getting nominated in the SV of the month thing... And even I wouldn't vote for me with these guys competing :)
Heres a variation on a theme

This rear end will be for sale shortly, including subframe and jack up plates

if you know a good welder, or specialist custom bike fabricator, then you can pretty much do anything to your budget/time. i sourced parts off ebay, spray them myself, then take my existing subframe and the new subframe to the custom fabricators and say " weld this to these lugs", give him 80 quid then bibs your uncle, done. the harder part is mounting tank and re routing electrics, but if your know how on fabrication is good and have the right tools anything is possible. if you dont know where your local custom bike fabricators are, pop to a local GOOD bikie shop.....dealers very rarely know, and they would be happy to help, and you can sometimes get it cheaper if you get to know the bkloke fromt he shop as well.
2 things are essential:
1- TIME. give your self plenty of time and DO NOT ruch it. i made that mistake and it set me back another 2 months!
2- a little bit of know how and the right tools. its no good trying to cut something using something which made to cut something completely different. oh and make sure there is no petrol in the tank before comensing work as well. i know someone who allmost blew there garage up when they were doing some welding close to their tank. not a good idea.
if your near the south check out :
http://www.moorespeedracing.com/ see colin, hes a legend, and can source near enough any bits to your budget.
http://www.xgenuk.com/ and see simon. he is the main fabricator and is currently doing some really nice projects. you walk into the workshop and oh my god, the bikes there are awsome. he can also make you up any exhaust you want.

I have seen a SV with the fairings of a TL1000S, but I can't remember where...
