You cant get tail tidies as such for the curvey you'll need an undertray Pyramid plastics are noramlly a good fit but you can get cheap fibreglass ones of ebay. You can pick up belly pans for about £50 depending what you want, try banditmania. The Roca ones look good but aren't cheap

Re the headlight, it's hard to find a headlight that's small and also works. I think highway hawk do a very small projector lamp which can be fitted with a HID capsule.

Most of my stuff has come from Ebay. The cheap tail tidies & bellypans are a bitch to fit, but dont look too bad.
I have fitted a headlamp from a CB500 Honda - retains the standard look, but I'll be honest, the beam is 500% better at night.

It'll have to be an undertray for the Curvy, tail tidys are for Pointys.

Obviously the more you spend the better the product, Pyramid Plastics make both items for the Curvy and are available colour matched and well made. Powerbronze also do both, however the quality is lacking some what and there opinion of colour match really isn't a good enough match for the price! Another option for both would be TCP (OEM Suzuki products) or ROCA which make very good quality colour matched products, unfortunately let down by the suppliers Bandit Mania.

I bought an undertray off ebay for my curvy, and a seat cowl. In the process of painting them now. Fit is ok with the undertay, will need to get a bracket and mini inicators to complete, but should look good. As mentioned Powerbronze and Pyramid do bits, but you may pay extra for those. Fit will be good though. Keep an eye on the for sale section, something may come up there.

Mister C, i see you have painted your undertray black, but retained the standard indicators?? A hugger would complete you bike well.

The Undertray was bought black so I didn't have to paint it. I've fitted an Oxford tail tidy & have some mini indicators off my old SV to fit, I found them today, so might do it tomorrow if the weather is ok.
Hugger? I dont know yet, I'll see how it goes Quite like the look now

my blue curvey has a carbon fibre hugger, and to compliment i got the carbon fibre yolk/handlebar cover and a carbon fibre surround for the clocks!
I have pyramid undertray/tidy and it looks the part, fits far better than a tail tidy on the pointys(no big gaps) just want to get wee indicators now, im thinkin carbon fibre minis with the multiple LED bulbs in them
Il get some pics of the mods on here soon! next good sunny day i can find haha
