Best of both worlds, ennit?
Curvy is clearly the better bike(!), and this tarts it up a bit.

Still, no way I'm getting it, maybe when my restrictions up and I track-bike it. Who makes em?
poly 26, i think they look ok but to be fair i prefer the curvey lowers they do for the standard fairing, i think its a bit of a rip off, all that money for just the gsxr plastics and no brackets ect

Now I've looked at it a bit longer, a few things

I bet, the lights will be near-on useless. SV ones aren't great anyway so that's a bit naff.
The other poly26 lowers are better, definitely. The holes in the fairings are way too big too.

That tail section is very nice though. Might have to have that at some point!

Those lights could work very well, small projectors can be very efficient (see Ducati 999, KTM Duke 2, every endurance racer for years).

Ah, I've looked at it again... It doesn't actually look that much like the GSXR, does it? Or am I losing it?

Is it me or are those just a set of GSXR fairing with a couple of holes cut in them for lights?

Gixxers got a big hole in it too, never noticed that. There's definitely a resemblance there northwind, it just hasn't been done as well.

Yeah, but it also looks a bit like the CBR too... (front fairing I mean). They all look pretty similiar these days.

It does look narrower than a typical GSXR race fairing, from the front view...

I think it looks good, but the same company does some cafe racer rep fairings and I much prefer them. They make your sv look different, instead of making it look like another bike.
This just says I want a gixxer but can't afford one.
