R6 fairings on Minitwins...

Hey all,

I have seen a couple of minitwins with R6 (race) fairings and was wondering if anyone had an idea of how they fit them? I guess it needs new subframes but where to get these from?

Any info would be great.

Have seen these fairings on both Richard Wilshier and Paul Whittingtons Minitwins at Bemsee this year and they certainly look good - they are fitted depending upon subframe with brackets, screws and fasteners, sometimes Dzus fittings. Had a look at fitting them ourselves but subframe compatibility was a little more complicated so opted for SDC Alloy subframes and BBC Plastics Fireblade seat unit & Fairing which are built to be compatible. You could also consider other Lightweight subframes available that allow GSXR race fairings to fit quite well on the SV. Its possible with some light weight metal working to make most race fairings fit the SV but make sure you still get suitable air flow for the rad and protection for the rider. Come along to a minitwin meeting (only one left at Bemsee) and you can have a closer look around the paddock. Good luck with your search.

Cheers for the info coxxy,

I spoke with one of the guys who has the R6 fairings but he said he bought it like that so had no idea about where the subframes come from.

I saw the SDC/BB Plastic setup and it does look nice actually, especially as all the pieces are purchasable "off the shelf". Was also looking at the 675 fairing which looks good too.

My problem is that I am not able to manufacture metalwork and don't know anyone that does. Think that the SDC/BB is the way to go. Will continue having a think about it. Cheers again.

The 675 fairing fits well and is really narrow but its a bit of a pain to fit. I have one-off front and rear subframes on mine.

I can give you the number of the guy who manufactured them if you PM me, much cheaper than SDC.

hi jhr racing in bristol have some sv's on there web site that thay build thay sell alot of fairings and fairing frames to fit sv650.

If you have any time over the 'off' season we would be happy to help with your fitting issues. Our BB Plastic fairings go on and off in 1 minute if necessary and fittings are relatively simple to acquire - light for racing and look great.

GSXR 600-750 K4 fit straight on with minimum fuss and cos there's gazillions of em around they're cheap.

Hi Hornstar

Have just ordered BB Plastics M1 fairing from them via e-bay (Haggle! It's buy it now or best offer). I guess I'll receive them by early October, depends how much of a rush you're in but I'd be happy to let you know how I get on with them.

I too have no metal-bending experience so will be ordering up their lower brackets too.

Ian

Good luck. Let us know if you need any advice on fitting them as there is a couple of key points you need to achieve to get the best position.

Hi Coxxy

That's a big yes from me! Never done anything like this before so all advice very welcome!
