nice bike! welcome to the site :)

That's a looker and no mistake ;)

What's that shock protector thing bolted to the swingarm that you can see in the exhaust pic? I don't have a hugger (yet) but I'm thinking that's a good idea that you have. Is it home made?

It's a stock part. Just a little flap that bolts to the swingarm. You should have one on as standard.

Colour isn't to my taste (I'm not keen on yellow and bought black) but looks good!

IMO if you're going to paint the underseat panels you should also paint the black bit in between the seat sides.

Although I always thought they should have colour matched it anyway!

The previous owner of my SV had a hugger. My flap is missing (!)


Now I'm on a mission to make my own.

I've got a spare (I've got two) if you're after one.

Looks really good well done! You won't be finished yet though I imagine :cool:

There's bound to be someone here who's got one or check with one of the many breakers round.

Nice bike, good choice. Welcome.

lol..... I don't actually mind pointy yellow SVs as there aren't many about...don't everyone think I'm turning into a pointy lover BTW, cause I'm not....can't stand any others

[mjohnr]

thanks for all the great feedback guys, im stoked to see all the support and be a part of this website. and your right im not done with this bike. next up im looking to upgrade the suspension, mainly the front fork. dont have anything else in mind yet really. maybe a cowl/fairing for the lower part. not sure.

Hello.:smt039

Nice bike.

[Luckypants]

Croeso! :cool:

[slark01]

Nice and welcome :-)

Get a good belly pan

Add heated grips so you can ride all year round

Look after it - give it a good clean when it needs it, service things like the brakes at least once a year, keep the chain lubed and other moving parts lubed aswell. I hate it when I see a nice looking bike, then get closer and find its got a dry, rusting chain and things like that

As for suspension, try progressive fork springs from someone like hagon (£60 ish) or ohlins (£80 ish). Rear shock from hagon is £255, or ohlins at £450....

Great colour :D

[Foxy]

Welcome :D. Your bike looks great ... Foxy :D

[Nobbylad]

This place is cool, loads of advice etc, you'll love it!

Nice bike, although I do prefer my stealth (black) pointy :)

[ogden]

Ewwww.

[Alpinestarhero]

WOW!!!!

There we go :D

[ogden]

Hmm. Something looks wrong with that post, but I just can't quite work out what it is.

[Viney]
