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 Last edited by RPC_SV; 22-06-08 at 04:30 PM. |

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.
