What first?

[hedgehog]

Hi all :smt039

Bought my first bike :D (pictured K6 SV650S) about 4 weeks ago! So far so good!

Just wanted peoples opinions on what to change 1st!! I want to make the bike a bit more my own!

Was thinking a dark smoke double bubble screen and belly pan?

Thanks!

Exhuast and tail tidy IMO...

Greetings :smt039, first, well the first things make little visable difference, for a start think fork spring replacement, crash bungs & fenda extender.

After those bit's Probably a can, DB would be next.

then loads of petrol ;)

(Oh and stick your location in your profile so others know where you are:D.)

Cheers Mark.

[hedgehog]

sorry should have said- already fitted R+G bungs (thought it was wise!!!)

[Baph]

As you have the bungs already, my vote goes for exhaust.

Hi dude welcome glad you like your bike, if you haven't bought any or not fitted on the bike, then get yourself some crash bungs that would be the first thing I would buy!

Scott Oilers are great I have one, head grips are great if you ride in the winter but there are endless mods you can do the SV of you look around the site you see what people have done to their bikes.

As Mark said spend the most petrol! Your not far from London where you are you? (i think) So you are probally near by the Thames valley group, then the soho group see the group sections for when people are meeting ect.

I got crash bungs fitted before I picked up the bike!
I'm in Basingstoke so not far from thames valley- will have a look at the group!

Definitely, make it your own by fitting a loud can and tail-tidy just like everyone else.

I got my K8 at beginning of July, I use it for my daily commute 90+ miles round trip.

My first mods were:

Stebel Nautilus air horn - so people know I'm there!
Fender Extender - to protect the rad/front pipe etc
Scottoiler - lots of miles in the rain
Airflow screen (black) - looks great but can't say I've noticed a huge difference in keeping the wind off me.
R&G crash bungs - I know I'm not planning on dropping the bike, but if I do, hopefully those puppies will lessen the damage

GSX-R front end conversion, loud can, Stebel magnum or nautilus horns, Double bubble screen, fender extender, lowers or belly pan; in that order!

P.S. Only joking bout the gixer font end, you can wait to do this!!!
