SV1000S fairing lowers on a 650?
 
Where's the differences? has anyone tried this and succeeded?

I'm guessing the bracket off the radiator is different as the 1000 rad is deeper (I can make stainless steel brackets). Does the crash bung hole line up the same? In theory the top edge of the lowers should mount up to the top cowl as it's the same moulding for the 650s and 1000s? Are the 1000 lowers physically deeper?

I'm just looking at my options because there are plenty of 1000 lowers on ebay, but no 650 ones, and I've found a really good cheap painter locally.

TIA

when i was selling my 1000 lowers i had lots of ppl with 650's enquire but all i was told was they wouldnt fit? something to do with the twin exit exhausts?

I can see the exhausts being a problem if you're trying to fit 650 ones on a Thou, but not the other way round. All I need to know is if they line up on the large holes where R+G bungs fit when they're in line at the top edge. Brackets can be made and adapted to suit to hold them in place anywhere else, and a heat gun can be used to move the plastic away where it touches, or even trimmed back.

They'll need to be painted anyway because to my knowledge they never made a black SV Thou.

They did, I looked at one when I was changing bikes a while ago, black frame, black plastics including lowers, but I bought my GSXR instead.

i know what u mean, it should all line up there as the head fairing is the same and the fame is very simalair if not the same. i didnt have r & g s on with my lowers tho i had the suzuki tat.
