Fitting belly pans

Hello everyone,

I am thinking of buying an SV650 and I was wondering just how difficult it is to fit panels yourself. I am looking on ebay at bikes around 3 years old and there seems to be a relatively large price gap. I just would like some advice on which way to jump. Does anyone know if adding the extra panels affects insurance (I assume it does)?


Many thanks

Do you definitely mean belly pan: http://www.suzuki-gb.co.uk/uploads/S...lly-Pan.22.jpg

and not lower fairings: http://www.banditmania.co.uk/Bodywor...%20FAIRING.jpg

Either way, the panels are very easy to fit, but... buying them seperately from the bike can be very expensive if you get new ones, and might take a while to get the right colour if you go second hand.

I don't think it affects the insurance at all, or at least I was never asked if my sv was half or fully faired when I was quoted.

Belly Pans are evry easy to fit, and they do not add any cost to your insurance premium.

Straight forward to fit either a belly pan or lower fairings, just mount the brackets and attach the panel.

It shouldn't add any cost to the insurance, at least I have never heard/known of it happening before.
