Default Race bodywork for the road?

Hell, and apologies if this duplicates a previous thread, but I couldn't find one anywhere.

I am looking to purchase an SV650s shortly. However, whilst I don't mind the semi faired lood, I do think the lower farings look extremely cheap and mismatched, as if they were designed by someone who hadnt seen the rest of the bike when asked to draw them up.

I have noticed on some of the tuners sites, that race bodywork is available, and to my eyes looks more attractive than a semi faired with lowers.

Does anyone use one of these on the road? If so, how easy was the conversion, how long did it take? I see that some of the aftermarket body kits even have pre prepared holes for lights, and I have seen some bikes looking almost Ducati 916'ish.

I have an ebay bid in at the moment on a lightly dropped SV and plan the conversion. Does this seem like a good idea to you, or would you counsel against it?

Soory again if this duplicates a post.
