    Has anyone tried fitting the new 2017 Hotbodies kit onto a Gen 2 SV650s yet?
    Was curious how well it fit and/or modifications needed.
    It sounds like the 2017 bike might be a little more narrow than the older model.
    Debating on which bodywork kit to install.

    Does the Gen 2 SV650 Hotbodies kit even fit a Gen 2 SV650?

    Interested to get feedback on this as well. I have been considering buying the kit and making it work on my Gen 1.

    Eh, plenty of time. I've taken a bike from the crate to race prepped in two days while working during the day :D

    Because they make a great product for the price point they sell. Want the look, feel and finish of a 2 grand set of plastic? Buy a 2 grand set of plastic. Want a good budget set of plastic at a low price and don't mind putting the work in? Buy Hotbodies.

    Yep. Same as the Air Tech gray stuff back in the day. You want cheap and willing to do some work then you've got choices. You want to spend more and work less buy Sharkskinz. Different products for different people.

    Nice, but it doesn't help answer the question.
    Would love some pics though, when you have them mounted.
