Time to chuck them on E-Bay then. Fancy covering up that pretty little engine...;)

I have to say curveys look better without lowers, it doesn't look awful.

Leave them on and see if they grow on you, if not simply flea bay them !

Curvy with lowers, reminds me of something!

I hate lowers on a curvy, a nice belly pan looks much better.

Makes it look like a GSX600 which, no offence, is one of the ugliest bikes ever made.

And they had the nerve to call it a Katana.

I shopped around for lowers or belly pans, and fell in love with Skidmarx's. not the cheapest at 100. comes in black so I don't have to colour match it. it is well made and took a few knocks well! :D

Sorry to say....It is a curvey and no matter what you add, or take away, its still a curvey. Most likely one of the :puker: ever to ride the roads!



(sorry curvey owners, but u need some upgrading. Its all about the lines these days)

that belly pan looks a million times better than the lowers imo.

The curvey does look stupid without something to cover the bottom half, kinda half finished.

Pointys are a different story though - they gotta have the oem lowers.

sv_rider1990 19-06-08 10:16 AM

Re: waited weeks for some lower fairings
 
IMO only OEM lowers for the curvey and belly pans... My bike looks lush i think look at my <<<<display pic :p lol!

Does a belly pan lower your ground clearance?

Those lowers are Skidmarx, I used to have some. Not as nice looking as original Suzi ones IMO.

only if you are going up/down high curbs, or if you go over a steep speed bump fast-ish with a pillion...

OEM are not cheap thou ;)

Skidmarx's is second best!
