Its a National Cycle Plexifairing III, got it on ebay, I'm pretty certain
its a standard National Cycle product. It wasn't built just for the sv so I
had to do a little more "fitting" than something built just for it, but it
was the only thing big enough to keep me entirely in still air during the
cold weather months.
Plus its got a great package to bolt itself down, handlebars, forklegs, plus
it braces against the turn signals the way I've got it rigged. Comes off
with a power screw driver in about 2 minutes, goes back on in 3. I've had
mine up to about 100mph to make sure it doesn't compress back in against the
bike and it did fine. The only problem is it takes away some of the quick
steering characteristics, and in a fair cross breeze you can occasionally
feel it working against you, but nothing big at all.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
