yeah i had a nightmare with viper and the connecting pipes they kept sending me, just weren't machined properly and didn't fit no matter what i tried. Ended up just sticking it directly on the exhaust hence the rather wierd angle!

That's a pity. Looks so much better

SV is a pain because the exhaust has to go through the arm. SV1k has the cylinder offset the other way round.

Well that is a SV1000S so the swingarm is standard and the front forks are off of a GSXR750 (KY-K2) with GSXR1000 calipers (K1-K2).

It does get maintained far more than most of the POS shiny bikes on here. I far prefer to spend time riding the bike than polishing it.
I have a "special" RD400E which is very nice, but not road legal yet lol.
