F's look like wanna be GSX-Rs, and fail badly at it.. IMO they are fugly.

so now im reading on here about the dominator lights, and the buellxb lights.
Will the dominators bolt right onto a gs500E light bracket?  What about the buells?

Hi all,
About SV650 mirrors...
I've got DIBS on these on ebay now, I'm bidding as trwhouse there. So please, as we have informally agreed here, don't bid on these and battle me for them:

Thanks for leaving them alone,
In GS500ness,

The Dominators should bolt right in, at least that's what I've read. Nice headlights, but they will run you about a hundred bucks a pop. They're from england and shipping is going to take a while and cost an arm and three eighths of a leg. The Buells require a little more work, I think. Try searching for a Buell light install or how-to and something should pop up. I know it's been done before on here.

I am thinking of going naked too. I just thing the F looks to GSX-R ish and performs, well, not so GSX-R ish. I like the black "bent" mirrors in those pics better than the chrome "broke" mirrors. What about the tabs on the frame that the fairing bolts to? Did I miss something there?  :dunno_white:

Hmm. I always thought it looked too wannabe GSX-R in terms of the fairings. Eh. The "broken" mirrors, IMO, look to be a lot nicer than the bent ones because they just look more expensive to make (it's easy to bend stuff :laugh:). You could always paint the chrome too

The fairing bolts to little betal brackets that then bolt to the frame. There are holes drilled in the frame that the brackets bolt to. It's all removeable (except for the front tab that the front fairing mounts to).

Concerning mirrors,

I went to the svrider forum http://forum.svrider.com/index.php and placed a wtb add. With shipping I spent $30.

Perfect! That's right at what I paid, and close to what RVertigo paid for his (he got lucky and paid less).
