I like mine as it is. Being an Engineer I like to see the engine

Was discussing last night that the line between fairing and lowers (case in point was a pointy) plus paint matching are serious issues

i prefere to see the engine but the sv needs a belly pan, i think full lowers on the pointy look like an after thought.

I prefer either a bellypan, or a full fairing. Lowers always look like an afterthought as Kwak says. The OEM curvy ones especially- couldn't be any more blatantly an add on. They remind me more of big fibreglass splitters and wings on boy racers than anything else If you want a full fairing, get a 2 wheel junkie full fairing, IMO.

I agree the standard SV needs something, though, otherwise it looks like a bit's dropped off
