Default Pointy naked headlight surround?

Go easy please haha righto!

Firstly an intro, I've been a long time lurker and gotten a fair bit of information from on here over the past few months and it was you lot that convinced me an SV was the ideal first bike for me.

I passed a few months ago now and bought myself this machine!

and have loved every minute since.

But alas back to the pint of this thread.
I have been looking for a little bit of wind deflection for the front and noticed that the pointy naked bikes have a little fairing surrounding the light and clocks.

i have searched Ebay and google in general but cant find much but I'm possibly looking for the wrong thing?

anyone have any more info. Or even better got one lying around that I could exchange for beer tokens..

Cheers!

Nice curvy I use a universal screen (airblade) on mine and it does the job.



Few screens on evilbay linky if you have no luck getting a pointy one they might be worth a try. HTH

the original from pointy won't make much difference so I would suggest to go for something bigger, as Geodude suggested

BTW screens are for sissys

I use a Raptor 2 fairing, takes a little bit of messing with the wiring (i built a bridging loom) to do, but doesn't look too bad, and gives some decent wind deflection. Means i can comfortably ride at 70 without neck ache.

I've recently swapped the inbuilt indicators to clear, to use as running lights. All in, for around £50, does a pretty decent job, and on a yellow SV, it's almost a perfect colour match as you can see.

Cheers for the suggestions and welcomes..

The reason I was looking at the pointy fairing was cause they looked good.

I have looked into a few universal style ones but guess I'll have to look harder...
