I've also had the same experience when I rode my brothers SVS without a fairing in the middle of repairs. In fact I liked it so much that I converted my naked SV to a modern style cafe racer first, using SVS clip-ons and doing my own rear set brackets but kept my round headlight. It looks great but the round mirrors from the stock naked look stupid and are difficult to use as you are now more forward biased and so have to do an effort to view behind.
I'm into stage two of my project and ordered a Buell Firebolt front fairing, lights and mirrors to remedy this and still have an orignal look. The fairing is quite minimalistic so it does it for me. I was still unhappy with the round headlight as I think that it doesn't go with the rest of the bike. My wife just called saying that I received a letter from the post-office saying I got the parcel with parts. **** and I'm working till 7pm and its Saturday. Will have to wait till Monday then!! ****!!
