Lower fairings Pointy. Want to ride without them
Hi
I have brand new fairings on my SV. I am a bit scared of damaging them (not cheap) on my commute. Can I remove them and store them for when I sell the bike and ride around fine without them. I have R&G crash bungs, are these the same whether you have fairings or not? Any issues?? |

infact they're off in the avatar, means you get more splash on your engine and stuff though and with the salt on the road it might be an idea to clean it up and give stuff an anticorrosion coating.

Re: Lower fairings Pointy. Want to ride without them
yeah, the only things to take into consideration is the crap being chucked up into your engine/downpipes. Other than that it doesn't make a bit of difference, just a slightly less expensive crash.

I would ACF50 anyway, and without fairings it would be easier to clean in all the tight places.
Or just sell it and get a bike I really dont care/worry about |

sounds about right.

Re: Lower fairings Pointy. Want to ride without them
Sell the fairings whilst they're still nice and new, is my advice for someone in your particular situation.
Did I mention I'm after some fairings?
