Raise the svs fairing to sport-touring level?

Either I've got an idea or I slipped and hit my head on the WC again;

but has anyone successfully raised the half-fairing of an SVS to a more sport-touring level (along with N-bars, of course) ?

A poor mans Multistrada? A V-Strom Sport? An abomination?

think you hit your head again....thats sacrilage. Bloody awful idea...go sit on the naughty step for thinking it

The latter. It looks awful.

Nah it's still pointy... go buy a DL1000 and find a way to shoehorn in a yoshi tuned TLR engine and induction setup. It'd be far more fun.

what are those DL1000 (V-stroms) like? Im cuorious, like the look and idea of em.

Why make a ugly bike uglier?

Have you tried a double bubble or touring screen?

My motorcycle is not ugly, it is merely frightful; there's a difference.

I've got my eye on the Zero Gravity Touring screen. Do they really get the wind-blast up and over your head?

This is what I know of the DL1000:

• It's as big as a horse.
• When you twist the throttle hard, the scenery changes in a heartbeat.
• The sound of the engine is addicting.
• It's as pretty as you are blind.
• If you take a jump too fast, you will want to do it again with clean underpants.

No problem with wanting to make your SV a bit more practicle and comfy. Double-bubble screens will make alot of differance, and you can get bar-raisers (helibars, or i think yamaha FJ1100 bars work well?). I was considering it at one point, but I got used to the handlebar position. I'd still like a taller screen though.
