Yeah it must be although i think yours needs a bit more pimping than mine ;)
Still got a few things to do on it, have got some new stainless bolts on order from chewy, need to finish spraying my spare wheels and then get my spare rear subframe (among other bits) powdercoated

Well I have Big Al to thank for the paint job, the pictures really don't do it justice :mad: it really pings in the sunlight. lol that can does look mahoosive doesn't it i need to get a replacement as it's a bit scraped up under that R&G protector where i threw myself down the road a couple of years ago but it will get stubbied at some point just don't want to cut up the akra just yet

For a start I like the colour, unfortunately Im not a fan of the aftermarket sv650 graphics. Just my opinion ofcourse but I have some original ones in black if you want them?

If its not a rude question how much was the paint job? Is BigAl a pro or just doing it in his spare time?
Looks good DD. Although I also am not overly keen on the graphics buy then its not my bike!! ;-)
Looking forward to seeing the finished bike.

Thanks but no thanks, I specifacally didn't want oem decals, as I dont like them. The ones on there are painted on and lacquered over, not the crappy stickers that suzuki use

pyramid undertray with a motrax rsend attached
so thats what you've been up to. looks good to me, looks like its pimp my ride month then
Yeah, I pimped mine with odd bits of silver Honda Accord paint and some stone chippings neatly embedded in the fairings, a bit like having it diamond encrusted, only lots cheaper.

How did you find fitting that e.g. difficult fit/ sgood fit, cutting original down as i am interested in sticking the pyramid one on my bike just want to know how well it goes?

I didn't actually fir this one but i did do my last one. Took me about 45mins from start to finish, got half decent instructions with it. I cut down the original with just a junior hacksaw and a stanley knife.
This pyramid and my last one both fit really well, the rsend is easy to fit as well, just a couple of bolts hold it onto the undertray
..awwwwwww mate i dont normally go for green bikes but that is loverrrrrllllllyyyyyyyy

Nah, couldn't be bothered with the 636 shock will get somethng else to go in there when the standard one gives up
Haven't sorted the front 'cators yet but they'll be hardly visible whan i do put them on, want to keep the side panels nice and uncluttered.
Mine is definitely the better colour ;)

It's even better in the sunlight cos you can see the gold base shining through

Should get yourself a Pointy Mate, then you could do the indicators/sidelights swap.
