Default Trouble Fitting lower fairings (curvy)

Hi all, i recently bought a set of used lower fairings for my curvy. they are definitely the correct type but I tried locating the n/s fairing the other day and none of the holes matched anywhere on the frame.
It has never had lower fairings fitted before. Do i need a set of brackets or something?
Thanks

Yes you do. Can't find them online at the moment, maybe someone else will.

I've just found the correct fitting kit for my bike. There are a lot of bits and brackets!
Here is the link if anyone has the same question:

That's the one.

If your bike suffers from the wet front plug syndrome, make sure you clean the drain hole, grease the cap before fitting it, pain in the Rse otherwise.

Hi,i'm not familiar with the wet plug syndrome. I take it that's when you're riding in all weathers and this is a good precautionary measure?

Some SV's don't like riding in the wet, some more than others - mine didn't even like being parked outside :/

The problem is water from the front wheel gets on the front cylinder spark plug cap and can cause the front cylinder to missfire or stop working.

Look here: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=81046 and http://forums.sv650.org/showpost.php...69&postcount=6

Reason I mention it is because it's easier to do now, than once you have the fairing on and the bracket on the radiator.
