Default To Fair or not to Fair?

What do you think. I have a fairing but need to get it painted.
This is what it currently looks like - just wanted to hear peoples opinions.

tbh i'd normally say faired, but that bike looks very sorted with a bellypan in silver, keep it like it is

I'd say keep the belly pan, the thing I like about the SV1000 is that the engine really fills the frame and looks meaty unlike the SV650's.

Are you missing a silencer?

Unless you're doing big miles and feel you need more wind protection.
If not, leave as it is (awsome!!)
AND CLEAN THAT DOWNPIPE!!! (Barkeepers friend @ Asda)

Are you sure??? Yoshi's full system has a slip on can and you have a bolt on, also the link pipe running from under the engine to the can is OEM, there is also no spring on the front header. I have fitted two Yoshi 2-1 systems on SV1000's so far and I would say whats on your is a modifed OEM to run with one can.

Did you buy the bike with the system or buy the system secondhand by any chance cos i think you we had?

This is full Yoshimura 2-1 system, note the slipon can, spring on the front header and the section under the brake pedal where the two downpipes merge into one.
