Full or half fairing
Morning all, first post but been lurking for a while. Have decided that my next bike will be an SV650S. Most of them seem to be half faired, but the latest sport ones have the full fairings and some earlier ones had them fitted as an option. Question is this:
What are the pros / cons of full versus half faired - given that fully faired bikes cost more year for year? Thanks |

Re: Full or half fairing
No pros to full fairing, just more crap to take off when you need to service it. It is looks and only looks.

Re: Full or half fairing
I love my half faired one, but it still presents issues at times when trying to work on the bike. However, in my view, it looks fantastic and I prefer it over the fully faired version anyway. May consider a belly pan though.

Re: Full or half fairing
Full fairings can write a bike off by insurers as they cost £400 new.
More things to damage when/if you ave a spill. More things to get dirty. Don't protect anything in my opinion. All cons  Only pro is if you like the looks.

Re: Full or half fairing
Full fairing do this when you come off and make you go on the impossible hunt of finding another pair at a decent price
 Stay with half faired and put the belly pan on - but only cause I can't afford any lowers
