SVR-6 fairing on 02 and older SV650's
These
are all light weight and very thin, just like race fairings.

The
guys at the SV Rally sent me the above photo. I thought it was Brad's so I asked
him. Here is his reply. Ken
Hey Ken. Yeah, that's
mine. That's the fairing I won at last years rally. Not too many changes from
last year. New taillight( LED bar unit off Ebay). Cheap fog light for a
headlight (placed in the vent hole of the upper fairing). The carbon fiber
solo tail was too far gone to repair (one too many oops) so I replaced it with
a cheetah racing bodies 954RR fiberglass unit. Pretty much the same elsewise.
The new paint was based off of my dads old VW bug hillclimber he used to race
back in the mid-seventies.
I'm gonna start
repairing and painting the street bodywork with the R6 headlight soon. I'll
get you some pics of that when it's done.
Later, Brad.

Well it started out as a 2001 SV650S
Anteras Red. Has a full Yoshimura system with Jet Kit. K&N air filter, Sargeant
Seats with red piping. Puig rear tire hugger, Race Tech fork springs, Scotts
steering damper, (not shown in pic), Zero Gravity Double Bubble
windscreen,(99-02 R6 model.). As for mounting the fairings I used the Graves
Fairing stay like you recommended, and i had to use heat tape to keep the pipe
from burning the fairing. I did not need to cut. I still have no Tach. But I'm
planning on ordering a SPA Technique Combo Tach/Speedo. The light setup is a
Pair of PIAA Turbo Led lights. WWW.PIAA.com I use Dunlop 208 Sportmax tires
120-front 160 rear. A Future upgrade will be Vortex Rear Sets. Any questions you
might have let me know. I have recommended other SV riders down here in the
Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale area about your site so I hope it brings you more
business. I take my SV to all the bike nights and get plenty of question asked.
Thanks;
Chris
Unknown?
These photos were sent in a couple of years ago. Unfortunately his name was
lost. If you know his identity please let me know, I would like to give
him credit for such a fine piece of work. The unusual thing about this
bike is that it uses the SVR6 fairing. This fairing is much harder to adapt for
street use, but the end result is worth the effort.
