I love it... Wrote a post last night that I seem to have not sent, but it's probably the best faired pointy I've seen. Usually the lowers look ropey because of the way they join the top fairing- there's always that massive line where you can blatantly see they're a bolt on. This makes an asset of that, instead of trying to hide it- top stuff. Especially when the lowers seem so close to matching the frame, most people would have used high-gloss.

Just knew it would appeal to you because of exactly what you said.

Of course if Northy likes it, you might as well scrap it!

That looks very very sweet! Didn't even realise it had lowers on until i read some of the replies. A black can might be a bit too black imo, i'd go for a titanium finish or similar.

Never seen a full-fairing I liked on an SV - until now

Great work - may have to consider myself - tho I think I would paint the heel-plates too

Look near the rear shock, most american bikes have them there.

Also those lowers, aren't they the ones you get from Suzuki direct? I'd presonally like to see them yellow, but its still a cracking job.
