Default best looking lower fairings

getting some new lower fairings (and other bits) on insurance after being forced off the road.i had genuine suzuki lowers and rear hugger,what are the best looking and long lasting ones for a yellow k2. anyone had problems matching the colour and with cracking around the fixing holes? good thing is the other parties insurance is paying and it was a low speed off.

IMO Poly 26's are the best looking by a mile... Still not got mine yet though. Need to learn French first

I like the poly full fairing, not keen on the lowers on their own though. I think the officials are the nicest.

the official ones just look, well, bolted on... Those wee air intake things, for example, just clumsy. The Poly ones aren't perfect but they've got a nice line to them, and a bit more body around the bottom, which is nice. Of course,. they could turn out to be rubbish when I get them

Nice! Makes it looks like 70s race bikes. Bit like that classic Ducati do.

There's a pic on their website of a finished SV with a proper megaphone exhaust, wire spoke wheels and front and rear drums. Those wacky French, eh? Don't kknow why you'd do it to a bike with such an unavoidably modern frame, but it's a lovely job.

They don't seem to do any street parts for the carbed SV (or for that matter lowers for the stock uppers on the injected bikes) If full fairings are allowed I nominate 2 Wheel Junkie



they get plus marks for making the bike still look like an SV, only better.
