GSXR fairing on Curvy. Better lights? Oh yes!
 

Hi All,

Thought I'd share my latest addition to the SV. A GSXR 750 fairing/light unit. . . with HiD. . . Now I really can see where I'm going in the dark:cool:. What a shame the SV has such rotten lights. Doesn't look curvy anymore but it is a price worth paying, in my opinion.

Ride safe Y'All;).

Errr I'd like to point out the paint schemes don't match ;)

Looks like a good conversion, are you going to paint the GSXR fairing to match?

Then it would look perfect

Nice work

i'd paint the curvy bit ;)

I thought about putting some lights of that vintage on my (GSXR not SV)... what is beam pattern and such like with HID?

Re: Better lights? Oh yes!
 

i like it. faring sitting a bit to high for my liking but its not my bike...

Re: Better lights? Oh yes!
 

great idea mate but the lines don't flow and it looks minging imoa.but atleast you can see.

Re: Better lights? Oh yes!
 

Nice touch. Looks factory fit as well. Bit of paint & it'll look perfect

I agree with Bibio, fairing too high, doesn't flow with the rest of the bikes lines, reminds me of those aftermarket fairings you used to get to fit to naked bikes in the 70's, but then it covers up a large proportion of a curvy, so it's definitely an improvement ;-)

Hi All,

Yeah, 'tis a shame to lose the curvy lines (Easy Ralph!) but function took precedence over form on this occasion. Decent weather protection is bonus for us winter riders.

Will probably paint yellow bits to match fairing rather than vice versa, that'll confuse people even more :-)

As for Hid conversion - well in the curvy it was worse than useless. Beam pattern was rubbish, poor spread, awful dim spot in the dead ahead area which is sort of where you want the light to be. In the Gixxer lights they are fabulous! No complaints at all.
