What else can I do to Zuky

[Shellywoozle]

OK she has tail tidy, Akro system, seat cowl, hugger, belly pan (on the hunt for lowers again). Tinted light covers.

But what else can I do to her, I dont like mini indies, got some not even fitted.

Any suggestions or shall I just buy a gixxer :rolleyes:

[DarrenSV650S]

stubby can :twisted:

God no my akroprovic was turned into a stubby and is now on Lozzo'z bike and looks good .... sore point. When I trashed my can I purchased a race Akra can and replaced my dented one which looks awesome on Lozzo's black pointy :(

Loads of stuff you could still do! With an unlimited budget but still thinking reasonably (ish):

- Strip down to frame and get it powder coated black. Get a K3 subframe and retrofit, again powder coated black.
- USD radial front end off a later GSX-R (radial calipers & M/C :D) - surely the obvious one ;)
- Upgrade rear to suit
- 5.5"/180 tyre rear wheel for looks
- Aftermarket wheels, preferably carbon fibre but if not definitely a nice multi (more than 3!) spoke design
- Mirrors with indicators perhaps
- Engine mods, or swaps - dunno what though
- HID headlights?
- Clear rear light would probably go nicely
- Clear normal indicators, if you are keen on keeping the original size
- One of those race dashes, bit like on the 848/1098

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head though.

[muffles]

Oh and if it was possible to properly mod the rear bodywork/pegs and get a high level twin system, RSV-R/TL style, I'd do that.

just ride

[kwak zzr]

you like my gixer shell, go buy one in black ;)

[Baph]

Centre-stand. :D

No, seriously, braided brake lines would be a sensible thing. Yours doesn't really need to change the suspension yet, but I'd be tempted to upgrade it just for the extra (percieved) benefit.

Couple of hundred ££ just doing those.

:kiss:

I think the bread man is right Shell.

[neio79]

err as has been said just ride it. And dont waste loads of money trying to make it something its not. If you are going to do that you will be better off trading in for something better.

[yorkie_chris]

Maybe a bit of suspension set up, depending on your weight and whats already fitted. fork oil change won't hurt. Spend rest on petrol and tyres.

[Paws]

I know i know
RIDE THE DAMN THING!!! ;)


Love ya really woozle xx

[Alpinestarhero]

heated grips and some vstrom handgaurds to keep the majority of the windblast off your hands. then ride it all year round.

I like the bigger rear wheel and inbuilt indies suggestion and the dash :-D mmmm - fankoo

just ride

:kiss:

Yes sir :riding::salut:

you like my gixer shell, go buy one in black ;)

Mmmm tempting, but I need a new motor too ... which one first? Bike was in place of a new motor last time round.

I know i know
RIDE THE DAMN THING!!! ;)


Love ya really woozle xx

Love you too hun :smt008

Then you know what to expect this time round too :D;)

[metalmonkey]

I would look at getting....

a Scot Oiler
New Screen
Heated grips
HID Lights

As YC said may be something to the suspension front end won't cost much.

Then spank the rest on tyres and fuel. I know my ideas aren't execting, however it should make it better to ride.

[yorkie_chris]

Scottoiler yeah, but you need to do some mileage, then work on areas of bike when they annoy you.

[thor]

petrol

[dizzyblonde]

did you see I replyed on your wanted thread for a centre stand? Someone was flogging one, I linked em for you

[Bibio]

HID lighting.. its made a mahooosivvvvv difference to night riding for me... no more 'is that a corner up there' ... now its 'yup thats a corner up there'... yes the light is whiter and brighter, but its the throw of the light that really makes it .. cats eyes and other reflective stuff just gets lit a lot further ahead of you... the second best thing i done to my bike.. btw, i got the 5000k and its 'white' light no blue tint...

[Blue_SV650S]

Buy it a few tanks of fuel, so you can ride it down sarf and I can 'learn' you! :cool:

[Shellywoozle]

Learn me what ? Or you could buy yours a few tanks and come up norf and you could learn me :rolleyes:

[Blue_SV650S]

Learn me what ? Or you could buy yours a few tanks and come up norf and you could learn me :rolleyes:

Learn you to behave!! ;)

As for going up norf ... it is all a bit weird above the M25 .. so ... I'll stick down here thanks ... :lol:

Besides this was summin for Zuky ... a trip down to the more civilised part of the country is treat enough .. . . ;)

Which no doubt means you're blinding every oncoming driver as you go. I detest the things because 99% of them are so badly fitted that it makes me want to smash them out with a lump hammer. In 30 years of riding like a **** I've never missed a corner because of my headlight beam being rubbish, even with my appalling eyesight. I just learned to ride within the limits of my eyes and my bike.

Bloody HID lighting is a chavvy boyracer fad that annoys the hell out of me.

your opinion is well noted .. rofl

but i can assure you that my beam pattern is pointing in the right place if not slightly low.. i hate blinding other drivers for the simple fact that it's dangerous.

i'v never missed a corner either, but its nice to have some decent light, it makes riding at night so much more enjoyable.. since fitting the lighting i have never once been flashed by another driver because my lights are blinding them...

as for being a chavvy boy racer, i think i'm a bit long in the tooth..

i do agree that badly set up HID lighting is terrible and it annoys the crap out of me as well, specially if its that fuk!n blue crap that everyone goes for..

i was merely suggesting to woozle that hid lighting may be an option.
