Here is his thread on the subject

Nothing as easy as a easy as the pointys tail tidy you have a few options
1, cut down what you've got
2, Fit an after market undertray like a pyramid one and a maybe a motrax rsend
3, do the same as wideboy has done

You can get a bolt on one which requires no cutting from TCP (http://www.tcpsa.com/), they made the official Suzuki ones!

Or I believe ROCA make one, check out the bandit mania (http://www.banditmania.co.uk/roca_products.htm) website.

I'm in the same position... I like the idea of temporarily cutting the stock down for the mean time until i have enough to get a pyramid. I've seen one SV on here that literally just has the stcok number plate light got the indicators comeing out of there it looks really smart.
Hovis you got a pic of your " carried away" job lol?

OOOh right me not being very observant there. Its not OTT but would it be possible to cut down the bit where the indicators fit at all?
not too sure...... i went as far as i could without having to move the indys.
as i did not want to have to make somthing to hold them inplace, or buy a tail tidy.
as the plan was not to spend any money doing it,
