Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Thought i'd buy the bike a crimbo present (would be greedy buying something for myself I suppose) and thought some new clothes would be in order as its winter, BUT

I know that second hand curvy fairing lowers are an almost mythical thing:mad:, so which new aftermarket ones are best do you think?

Powerbronze site doesnt show photo, so not sure what they look like.
I like the lowers on twinshack, but are they any good?
Dunno of any others other than expensive sets from overseas.

your thoughts/views/ideas much appreciated.

cheers

got mine off ebay £50 very good condition standard ones (yellow) sprayed them matt black to suit untill next summer spray job . did not realise i needed a fixing kit (new to this) but got one £20 after a recomendation of org member . looks good but remember if you do your own maintenance it adds time to most jobs

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

i've been trying ebay, but all i've seen so far were a broken set that went for about £120, so you did well there!

a site called m&p list colour matched for £130 but no picture, and no response to numerous emails asking about them (as they seem too good to be true)

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

just lucky looked for about a month and 2 or 3 sets came on at once

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

OEM Suzuki Accessory is the best.

Powerbronze is cheap, tacky and the colour match is crap.

Poly26 (Twinshack) ones will require painting but are a good quality product.

Skidmarks are well made, they just don't look right when on the bike though.

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Thanks Dave.

Might sound stupid, but I've tried looking for OEM Suzuki accessories for the lowers on the internet, but cant find anywhere stocking them. Do you know where i'd look?

cheers

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Robinsons, they are pricey but no cheaper anywhere else (new). Your SV is the later yellow going by your avatar, Pearl Lively Yellow.

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

robinsons was were i got the mounting kit from

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Ebay. I see yellow ones occasionally, but I don't know what make they are.

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Powerbronze, going by the picture.

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Think i'll go with the OEM lowers.

I like the twinshack ones, but with the cost then painting they'd be close to the £300 for the OEM ones anyway.

no doubt once i've ordered them, there will be a rash of second hand ones all over ebay for £100, cos thats how it tends to go! :smt076

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Robinsons don't do the lowers in yellow anymore-they've only certain colours left

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

But if they ask Suzuki nicely, which they should, they can be sourced from any dealer who may have them in stock in the UK. Suzuki GB own the stock, not the dealers.

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Been there and done that dave-was told from a few dealers that only chance of getting new was from them to be sourced from Japland-and that was last year-they checked the stock list of nearly every suzuki dealer in uk for y9h and no joy

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Doesn't surprise me, I know many Curvy seat cowls are no longer available either as a lot of people keep asking about mine.

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

It's a pain but keep checking ebay. It took months for me to find any for mine, and then they were blue, and scratched! I got them delivered for about £50, picked up a tub of filler, some wet and dry of various degrees, and a can of primer for about £20. I put in the time consuming effort and took it to a local training provider who do bodyshop work, and they will do them colour matched for me for about £100. They are also going to touchup my tank which is heavily scratched courtesy of the previous owner for £50, and lacquer it all over. That's almost a complete respray in my book! Grand total for the farings = £170, but a lot of patience required. :)

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

you can still get them here-but better to keep eyes on exchange rate first-

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

TCP still make the products, they made them from the beginning for Suzuki, but Suzuki had stopped bringing stock into the UK a few years ago. Try looking for the TCP distributors, I think the one in Holland does the UK now.

Wrong colour, that is the early yellow (Pearl Canyon Yellow).

Try this one....

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

Thanks for your help guys.

Looks like it'll have to be the Twinshack lowers then, or keep trawling ebay with fingers crossed, as the OEM lowers will cost a fortune in comparison (over £400 before delivery from France!) and since I like both sets, I may as well use the £100 difference getting the front suspension sorted out.

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

good lad...u know it makes sense!

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

What you got in mind for the front suspension Daz ?

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

alright John, how's things?

I'm thinking Hagon springs and heavier oil.
Not as expensive as gsxr front end etc, and I dont ride well enough yet to need that type of mod, it just needs to be firmed up for my weight.
I posted up the question a bit back and feedback from Dangerous Dave and a few other of the guys suggested cant go wrong with the Hagon's.

I'm going to jack the back end up a touch as well, purely for the look rather than handling.

Now i've got some second hand OEM lowers coming from Husky, which need prepping and painting, and a cowl i've got (also for paint), i'll have had the lot done for around £400 i'm hoping.

Will be VERY yellow though!!:cool:
Matching yellow leathers and lid? :sick: I think not!!!!!

Re: Curvy Lower Fairing
 

glad you're getting cracking with stuff, it'll look great when it's all painted, you were lucky to get fixed-up with lowers....

I've put 15 grade in my forks, and a 40mm jack-up on the back, it rides much better now (for me) I've more confidence in riding it harder now, which is great for the "grin-factor".......

Take care Darren, look forward to catching you again soon, (but not that soon, It's bloody bitter, been following a gritter home from work tonight!!!), we were lucky with that ride-out for it to be so nice... don't forget your scarf next time though;)
