The fenda extenda is being held on by pegs till the sikaflex dries, and I've put my new Kriega tailpack on it too to try for size. Am pleased with the bellpan though.

How do you change a can? Is it a straight swap or don't you need some sort of setting up done?

[Duck-man]

Nice fender and lowers :) as for the exhaust defo needs done will sound ace!!

[orose]

Depends what you're aiming to achieve with it - if its just extra noise, then its an end-can swap (which is a hacksaw job, but doesn't mess with the fueling as much as a full exhaust system change).

Theres probably heading on for a thousand threads about which exhaust can to choose, so I'll point you in the direction of the Exhaust sub-forum (http://forums.sv650.org/forumdisplay.php?f=137) and leave you to it.

Spose it's alright for a pointy ;);)

That is tidy isn't it?

Hacksaw? nah an angle grinder is much more fun :D

Looks good Shona! Beefs the looks up a wee bit too. How much was it if you don't mind me asking? I got one of these for xmas (£130 quid odd) and it was fitted in about an hour. Sounds good, especially with the baffle out. Pops and bangs on the overrun now - lovely! Definately much more free flowing now too, hits the high revs much more happily and I've bounced it off the limiter a few time's 'cos it gets there so easy and you don't realise what rev's you are doing.

It's a tail tidy for me as the next priority, I don't like the snow shovel and it makes parking close enough to a bollard to get a chain through the back wheel a pain.

Thanks Ralph, it was only £69 I liked the suzuki one much better but it was much more expensive.

Your can looks nice, I think I'll def get one, but my bike is still restricted for another 10 months so will wait till then.

Is that the Powerbronze bellypan? If so, I'm confused, I usually hate that but it looks ace :notworthy:

Yes, that's the very one!

I'm pleased with it for the money, it def adds something I think. Ta!

PLEASE...DO NOT use a grinder. [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< If you **** it up with a grinder there's no way back. I'd rather not read any horror stories about the grinder messing up your bike's paintwork.
I'm with dirtydog, biking's supposed to be fun isn't it?

Can I watch?

[dirtydog]

using an anglegrinder is fine just stick a piece of board behind where you're cutting just to make sure you don't cut into the swingarm

[northwind]

Angle grinder? Bit tame, I cut mine by throwing axes at it from 10 paces!

(OK, actually I used a hacksaw. It was rubbish, it takes a very long time to cut through an exhaust with my flimsy arms. If I was doing it again, I'd probably try and lay hands on a reciprocating saw.)

[shonadoll]

Cutting into swingarms? Reciprocating saw? *shudder*.

Like you'd be able to throw an axe that far!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I touched it with the angle grinder, decided it was a bad idea and reverted to the hack saw, only took about 15 minutes with a new blade, but thats because my angle grinder is about 18 inches in length (not including the blade), 2200watt with a heavy 230mm diamond blade and kicks like a mule.

It was bought for cutting masonary and slabs. Had I had a nice lightweight easy to handle angle grinder at my disposal I would have used it.

I unbolted the rearset (would you call the bog standard footpeg assembly on the SV a rearset? Anyway you know what I mean) and tie wrapped them up out of the way to give space to saw back and forth. Then tie wrapped a piece of wood to my swingarm so I couldn't mark it with the end of the hacksaw. Fitted a new hacksaw blade and, hey presto, 15 minutes later a clean cut.

Shona, thanks v much for this link. Might have to get one of those after the tail tidy. This modding your bike business is getting expensive! I'll just have to tell my wife my snow shovel is cracked and illegal or something and make it look like a neccessity, then ask for the belly pan for my birthday. :mrgreen:

Anybody know if these belly pans come in a red which would match my K6 red pointy? Or would I need to get it painted?

No problem. If you go to the model year bit, it shows you for instance that a 1999 sv650 bellypan also comes in red, as well as a couple of other coluors. You need to inesert your year in the wee drop down box though.

[shonadoll]

It says it does do red, but is £75.
