SV Bodywork Options

[MAZZ77X]

Gonna do a nice makeover on our bike for next season and want to see some pics of different bodywork on a 2nd Gen SV.


Right now were leaning towards the Triumph 675 or Ducati 848 but would like to see some others. I don't want the typical SV or GSXR look as they seem to drag the ground and don't fit the bike so great. I know I have seen some really nice SV's with proper fitting bodywork so lets see them.....


Thanks, Anthony

Ross used to have 03-05 R6 bodywork on his.  I tried a quick google search and found nothing.

I always wanted to try something like a TZ250 bodywork with the anti-draft tail, when I had my SV. But I'm probably the only person alive who thinks they look good.

Ross runs 1G not 2G.

My bad, I thought he had a 2G.

Mazzz,


How is this?  Armour Bodies for an '09 gsxr 600.  I pulled it off my 600 and made some brackets, it fit without cutting.  Other than the frame sliders, everything lined up very well.  I used a vortex fairing stay from a GSXR, the holes were the same.  The tail section is a different story, the one on the bike in the photo is an SV tail.  The GSXR tail is still a work in progress.

I have Duc 999 on mine. Some minor trimming and wrapped the exhaust to keep it from burning through. SV or GSXR tail (came with bike).

Since I'll spend a lot of time looking at the rear of that bike:

Definitely look for the NSR bodywork.  This guy did it well with a moriwaki tail:

Also can't go wrong with the 916:

Just about everything works on SV.  Find someone you like and buy.


RC51 fits best IMO.  GSXR 04+ works well too.

Why the R6 forks?

[roadracer162]

The R6 forks aren't Lee's doing. It was the previous owner that did that.

[Cowboy 6]

Why the R6 forks?

Because they work.

[leeroy996]

Because they work.

+1, they do work and it's almost a straight swap.  The GSXR forks everyone likes makes a stiff front end for a frame made of crushed coke cans.
Either way, I crashed at 120mph, folded the forks but they frame remained straight.


And they're "Cheap as Chips"

Swap yamaha front is same as GSXR.  Just didn't there was something special i wasn't aware of about the R6 forks.

[kvanengen]

Because they work.

Haha Without question the greatest answer ever! "Because they work".

Cowboy is correct. The R6 forks work very well on the SV. Arguably a better option than the GSXR forks. 

[LWT Racer]

Lots of forks work tho.  Putting gsxr carts in stock forks work fantastic.  Just don't see many r6 swaps.  That is all.
