Removing Pillion Grab Rail - SV650.org

03-10-09, 10:13 PM

When the grab rail is removed you can see the gaps in the rear fairing where it used to fit under the seat; if I replace the seat with a cowl will the cowl cover this or will the gaps still be visible? On a curvy BTW.

The Pyramid Plastics cowl covers the holes, most others dont, but there is a "how to" on here somewhere telling you how to cover them up.

My SV came with a cowl that included two filler pieces that cover the gaps. Sorry, I don't know where it came from originally.

I took mine off yesterday and with my cowl you can clearly see the gaps. so its far from perfect. But I still prefer it to the grab rail.

my bike didnt not have the grab rail on it when i bought it iv got a seat cowl not sure were it come from. but the seat cowl has nothing to do with hidding the gap. the gap is hidden by to bits of plastic that bolt into were the rail use to bolt in. but i have no idea were you can get them from. ill stick a picture up later

Well I've found the saddle shutters on banditmania, and if I thought 300quid was OTT for lower fairings they are really taking the p!ss at 38quid for two 1 inch bits of plastic!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe they can charge so much for oem bodywork that costs so little to make!
