Default Turning curvy from faired into a naked

Is this possible? If so, how? And ha anyone here done it before?

I personally prefer the naked look of SV's but there aren't many around, So i was thinking about buying a faired curvy, then transforming it into something more visually appealing (in my opinion lol)

Cheers

Yeap, easy to do plus you can salvage some money from selling the 'S' parts! Both SV's share the same rolling chassis so its simply a matter of unbolting the 'S' cockpit/bars and fitting a 'N'.

Clocks are the only problematic bit, the faired clocks are massive and you can't really fit them to an N without it looking completely rubbish. obviously mine's a lashup there, it actually has no clocks because they cost money, but you either have to add N model clocks- which are expensive, harder to fit, and butt ugly- or something like a Vapor or Acewell clock, or similiar. That's what I'd do. On mine, I made 2 p-shaped clamps out of B&Q ally strip to attach the headlight, using standard side plates (off a Bandit I think). Very simple and easy.
