I like someone with a sense of humour willing to put time and money into proving that. :D

We did that one higher up already.

My biggest issue with it was how the neck is now triangulated with a Bluetooth front engine mount.

Dang - I must have seen it from a different angle.

It looks like they've stuck a Gen 1 'Curvy' fairing onto a Gen 2 'pointy' :shock:

It's the correct fairing just lifted up for mandlebars.

As the owner of a Gen 2 SV650 I disagree,there's no way that's a Gen 2 fairing,the front view looks like the earlier Gen 1 curvy, & the view from the cockpit is totally different to a Gen 2.Here's the advert & images https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/365082124569 ... R-Kuiu34ZA
Check image No 9 & 16.I don't know what theyr'e from but it's definitely not a Gen 2 SV650. :thumbup:

Wifey owned the first model SV650 which is how I know it's from that. I sort of lost interest in SV's when she sold it around 2003.

Looks like one of those fairings (maybe Powerbronze) that you used to see in the M&P catalogue for NTV650s and GS500s.

That'd be my guess, that faring isn't SV or Fazer.
