My Faired SVS K5
Fitted my lower fairing kit and seat cowl today. The fairing was a pain because when you tighten up the brackets they have a habit of moving...
Next mod might be an exhaust come the summer. Can't believe how good they look with the lower fairing and cowl. I can't afford to insure a sports bike so I am chuffed as to how sporty an SV looks for a budget bike.

Yeah they def help to finish it off nice, you need to get rid of the snow shovel on the back though for a hamicad.
Looking good matey.

Nice one mate.
A set of R&G bungs will help protect those in the event of laying it down or worse. Garry

Hamicad hmmm yes hear what you are saying and totally agree but exactly how much work is involved in fitting? What do you have to do exactly?

Buy one & follow the full instructions included, it's that easy.
Remove both seats, rear bodywork & snow shovel, fit hamicad & other bits in reverse order. Should be done & dusted in about an hour tops.

Just seen the instructions on the hamicad website! Looks scary! Yeah true about the cost issue. With the fairings, cowl, exhaust and hamicad I would have spent the difference in insurance between the SV and the GSXR600. I so detest all these chavs that mod their cars and yet I am in danger of emulating them.
Might leave the bike as is because it is technically still standard or just get the exhaust but that depends on what the insurance says. I gotta ring them to declare the fairings and cowl and will ask them what an exhaust will do to my premium. |
