Skidmarx

Post by freeze »

Hi all,
I've been looking for lower fairings for my K3 SV650S, have found the website for Skidmarx whose prices seem pretty good. Any one know what the fairing quality is like before i commit?

cheers

Tom

PS how do I upload photos to here?

my experience with skidmarx stuff isnt the best,cheap n cheerful and stuff doesnt always fit like it should so be prepared to drill the holes abit to make them fit,have you priced up genuine suzuki ones ?

I'm with deej, I've got a seat cowel from them, there is no way in hell it fits, its not a colour match. Sent it back and bought a genuine one for half the price off ebay.

Always go genuine
My old man had an SV (99) and bought the Suzuki lowers. good quality, colour matched and fits a treat.
Also the Skidmarx one just doesn't look right, Suzuki follows the flow of the bike!
