Get motosliders!

For the price of some of those links you have posted you could add a couple more £££ and the motosliders sent from the states.

I think mine cost 55?! once had been converted from the $.

All useless. They mount to cylinder head mounting bolts which are a couple of inches inboard of the frame. Means the bungs just fold up and on the naked bikes that means the radiator makes friends with the deck.

Spend £55ish and get some motosliders.

Alternatively buy my old R+G's and stick some new bungs onto them.

I bought a cheapish pair off ebay which bolt onto the fairing on the K8 Sport. I'm under no illusions that they'll do much in any sort of crash but should do the trick for any low speed spills/drops.

All crap mate, any bung which mounts to either the front or rear cylciner is gonna be crap. The bolt will not be striong enough to cope with an off, they will bend instantly.

Rear

Motosliders are the best on both Curvy and Pointy, the R&G's are a proven flawed design which even R&G now admit too. The only time R&G's will be the best option for the SV650 is if you have lower fairings and wish to not modify them to fit Motosliders, even then the flaw designed will fail and damage you fairings.

Nope, they will bend the fairing bracket and possibly crack the fairing.


Motosliders cost less than R&G's, there have been no reports of any failing, spare parts are a lot cheaper (even shipped from the USA), and the do the job the were designed to do.
