Anyone fitted one of these to an SV? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Oh yeah, the Pramids one that's similiar is called the Mantis.

I know I saw an ad in one of the bike mags recently for a pattern KTM Duke 2 style headlight/screen assembly... But I couldn't find it when I went back to look for it

and here it is on a K3

That first one is a slightly different one, made by Pyramid, I believe. I don't like the look of that one at all (although it is a bit similar). Strange how 'fighter cowls seem to be love or hate, with no middle ground.

That second one you linked to is the right one though. For mirrors, I think I'd probably just put a single RHS bar end mirror on it. Anyone got any experience of those on clip-ons?

Next question; I know HID lights are more energy efficient than xenon. Presumably this means they produce less heat too? I've tried searching for more info on this aspect of them, but all the hits seem to relate to the colour temperature, rather than the amount of heat generated. I know they're pricey and it'd be an extreme remedy. Just wondering if fitting a single HID bulb to the vertica fairing could be the answer?

Ta for the comments folks...

Yes the bulbs in them are the Halogen types that you get from B&Q, and if they blow the same ammount they do in my kitchen lights, then i wouldnt bother. Mate has that fairing on his crosser, to make it 'road legal'!! Its pants.
