Curvy 2002 Radiator cover, faired and naked the same? - SV650.org

20-07-10, 09:29 PM

I have a 2002 fully faired SV and i want to fit a radiator cover (usual chrome thing) but its for the naked version, not the S. Everyone i speak to is unable to tell me if the same rad cover will fit the S.
Has anyone else has the problem, or is it the same fitment?

The naked radiator has covers/guards on either side that are fitted with two bolts that go into the radiator. The radiator covers for naked bikes are usually mounted using these bolts.

Your faired radiator doesn't have anywhere for these bolts. It has a bracket for the fairings that will prevent the naked cowl from fitting, so you've got two problems.

I think Beowulf do a guard for the faired curvy.
