OK I just got the front end wrecked stuff of the SV and am preparing to fit the Hot Bodies. I have a GP TEch Faring bracket and I don't see a mounting point for the upper to the frame. I thought is was the engine mount bolts but the distance is too long for that. I don't know if I am mixing and matching or if I need to make additional brackets to mount everything. Pictures would be better. I'd like to get something going this weekend so I am in need of assistance ASAP. I do have other stuff to do but mounting the upper is the focal point I need to mount the dash, lower, steering damper and other things. Any help will be appreciated. e-mail [email protected] in case any of you helpful gentlemnen have some pics you want to send over. Thanks, Gene
Gene, You should have told me, I have brackets in stock.Not sure where the Hot Bodies have there mounts. Get some 1/4"6061-T6 1" wide stock, measure from the closest engine mount to the body mount, and have at it.Use a torch and vise, with a 8mm bolt behind it to make your bends.
Thanks Gary, so that's how it's done. No problem on the aluminun bending and such, I still have a bracket from the sharkskinz. The other one got broken on Bostrom corner. I still need some help though, Gary only cleared up one small aspect of the installation. I'd be really interested in knowing where to locate the best mounting points and such. I really only want to do this one time....really. I wonder if Hot Bodies has a website with more information. I've did a couple of searches but keep getting a porn site instead of bodywork. Go figure. Thanks

Thanks [/B][/QUOTE] I really does not matter where you mount it to.You just want to find the closest point to your body tabs.On the 02 with the gsxr600 body, I use the rear most upper engine mount, on both sides.This is where Cheetah mounts work.With the new gsxr1000 body, I use the front mounts by the overflow bottle.
Doesn't look like either one will line up properly. I even removed the fairing stay. It does read, 99-02 SV650 so I guess it is the correct one. I found some stuff on the hotbodiesracing.com website. I got board and painted the tank, fender and tail section. I'm waiting for it to dry now. Kinda late but that's me. Cheers,
'03 bodywork IS different than '02 and down Could not tell you about the fairing bracket but I would say that is different too.
