well spent the best part of 10 hrs over the weekend correcting the bad mistake the previous owner had done of fitting a cbr600rr5 exhaust to the sv, - it had to come off, cause it was rubbing on the tyre when 2 up, plus it was catching on where the battery had been located, all in all, it was a cowboy attempt, i much more pleased with how it looks now,

main problem being getting the old one off, which required me to take the bike pretty much totally apart, and seen as this is my first bike it was a bit of a daunting task, but it all went well specially with the missus on hand to bring beers crisps, hold things, clean etc,

i might be wrong, but i'm sure it pulls better, or is it in my head??

alls well now anyway, new numberplate on the way me thinks, and an undertray, plus i still need to finish relocating the battery, fuseboxes cdi etc, it was a bit of a mess in there,




right, dunno whats goin on with the host, i'll load em here for now

Even with the bodywork off, that looks so much better.

and last but not least -

if anyone is interested the old exhaust will be up for grabs, only a good idea if your very handy with a welder and at modifications etc, coz this aint no straight swap, but would save you making all the pipe work etc,

its not like the cbr600rr5 is even a nice looking exhaust, i mean yeah it looks good on the honda, but as an exhaust there are much nicer looking ones, i'm really pleased with it anyway,

its rather loud mind, dont think its e marked, how much hasstle do you think i can expect?
