Nice bike and I did like the fairy! I didn't know there was a 400. Is that a GN125 in the first picture? It was my first bike!

Fairys would be ok if i was a girl but im not lol. Yeah it was only ever made for the japanese market so any that are here in the uk are imports. Its a 1982 GS125. Pretty similar to the GN but if i remember rightly the GN is a more custom/crusier almost like bike.

Welcome aboard,
As you seem to be aware, what it looks like you've got there is an SV400S that's had an accident and been repaired as an SV400N, with clip-ons.

Nowt wrong with that, and it looks fairly tidy but please bear it in mind when ordering parts (The S and N footrest hangers are different for instance, so if you needed one replacement and bought a 650N hanger you'd probably end up with odd-height pegs).

It's probably not that cheap to convert it back to an S, you'd probably need:

mirrors, screen, plastics, front sub frame, in-fill panels, instrument surround, mounting brackets, indicators, a front "side light" and a headlight. It's not just a case of buying 3 plastic panels. This assumes the front wiring harness is OK, I'd imagine it's been altered to fit, so you may need one of them too.

Just enjoy it for what it is, I'm sure you'll have a ball. I don't remember my bike looking nearly that shiny...

Good to have you aboard!

Jambo

Thanks. That is exactly what it is. I am toying with the idea of converting it back as I prefer the looks of the faired one, Im not sure yet if I am going to do it as I don't know what I need exactly to convert it back. I dont want to get half way through and find iv not got a part that is vitally needed.

ahh yes, the illusive black fairing panel, as rare as rare can be....something to bear in mind if you want to convert it back


I'm still looking for a decent left hander for mine, with the correct decals!
