2nd Gen SV650 - What GSXR bodywork to use

Are most of you using 600/750 or 1000 stuff?

Also what year works best?

Anyone know of anything else that works well.

What aftermarket fairing stay should you use? SV or GSXR etc?

 

I have 2006 GSXR 1000 stuff and it works fine.

 

I have 2006 GSX-R600 bodywork on mine. I use the 06 600 fairing stay.

My bodywork had to be modified slightly to mount the lowers.

 

kinetic endurance team used the duc 848 bodywork and it looked great

also seen pics of a bike using a rs 250 bodywork that looked the best ive ever seen

 

I just used 04-05 GSXR600/750 bodywork. It looks good but I won't do it again. I rather use 2nd Gen SV bodywork and be done with it. Too much of a PITA to trim and fit, make brackets etc. I used a 01-04 GSXR1000 tail and I like it a lot. No fitment problems there...
I see you're a bodywork guy but I'm not and I hate doing that stuff!

 

Why don't you just use SV bodywork?

 

00-03 GSXR 1000 bodywork on mine...it's a little wider on the front end which puts the frame sliders under the bodywork, but it kept the frame sliders from hooking on pavement when I went down the first time...

 

i use the 04/05 GSXR600 bodywork. i make 3 simple brackets out of aluminum bar stock and use wellnuts and zipties for the tail (can't see the zipties). the lower needs to be trimmed to clear the shifter. i also trim the upper and lower toward the rear where they meet so that i can pull it closer to the frame. yes, the SV bodywork is easier, but i like the look of the GSXR bodywork. because of the extra work involved, i recommend that you drill and mount it before you paint it.

 

can you say "SV SHARKSKINS"

 

Do not use SV sharkskinz. I had two sets and it's terrible. You'll drag the belly pan all over the place and it's so wide over the bike and doesn't look good at all. Get a set of Armour bodies for an SV. Looks great and fits perfect.

 

this is the most gorgeous SV ever (uses Ape RS250 bodywork)

Why not just race a GSXR?

 

Yeah, well all except that damn split-pea green color scheme. Between that and Wischmeyer's pink accents it's a colorful team.

 

I see our color is growing on you Gill.

 

Dont like the upper!

 

Got kids, cant afford to have a current bike in competitive form, pay for race gas etc etc etc...I leave that to some of my friends to do....lol

 

What about 05 GSXR1000 stuff? I can get some from a friend....

Also anyone got pics of the Duc stuff?

Im not looking for simple nor complicated. I did GSXR stuff on my 1st gen back in 01 with no insight. It turned out awesome....

Will check into Armour

 

Chuck, LooKs like my bodywork will work. Just needs your special touch!

 

Isnt yours 04/05?
