As you say you're after a headlamp fairing for an SV1K, can I deduce from this that you have a Naked Thou?

If so, then Welcome my friend, I'm no longer alone, there is another .org user with a groovy naked Thou, well done that man

Mine is Mean 'n Moody Black 'n Groovy, what colour is yours ?

One of my work mates gave a Givi Aero tech screen he got free with a new XJ1300.
He found it made the steering unstable at speed on his bike.
Have now fitted it to my SV and have had no probs with handling.
It's very effective at getting rid of the wind blast even at a speed of 125 mph (on private airfield)
This screen is a bit on the large size and I think the next size down would be almost as good.
The screen is 15 ½ inches from the top of the headlight to the top of the screen I think it is the A602 model.
