Hi,
I was browsing around in a bike shop a couple of days ago and saw an SV650S with a front plastic flap hanging of the radiator covering the front spark plug. I don't know whether that was standard issue or the owner just added it on. I think its a good idea and want to get one installed on mine. I've got a piece of rubber flap but I'm looking for ways to mount it. Has anyone done it before? Or are there some aftermarket parts available?

Mine has one - fitted by raptordoc - i think he just screwed it to the rear baseplate bit of the radiator
Best remove rad and look for suitable (non fluid filled) mounting points I reckon.
Xtra raptors now have them as standard I heard
- it stops the water ingress and also the cold water on the front sparky lead cap - which gets damaged due to hot/coldness changing thingy

Have one fitted to my X-rap,
simply a small "L" shaped bracket from each of the underside mounting bolts locating the electric cooling fan, then the rubber shield is then riveted to the brackets.
regards.
