That's my winter mods almost done. LSL touring clipons, R6 throttle, braided lines, banjo bolt brake switch so that I can have the brake lever at a better angle, and some chav fairing mesh and orange bits. Just waiting on some bar ends

You want the smaller 13mm or 14mm bar end weight for LSL bars, plenty to be had on Ebay.

I'm getting the LSL slim bar ends. By the looks of it they will be the same diameter as the bar. So I won't have to chop off the end of the bar to make it flush with the end of the grip. If that makes sense

Mine aren't LSL, have no idea where I got them from, but the slim is the same diameter as the bar. I moved the grips to the end of the bar to tidy it all up a bit, bit more leverage too....

Thought about that but my cables are stretched as it is. The throttle gets stuck open at full lock. Might have to get longer cables

Ahh... yes, sorry mine are now LSL Match. When I had the LSL Tours fitted I had to have the controls a little more to the inside of the bar.

Very clean bike with worthwhile suspension mods, but in my opinion the orange bits look tacky and gash.

It looks seriously nice, apart from the screen. It looks like Ali G's sunglasses.

That mesh is a good idea, so are the braided lines and the stubby can looks great.

I like the mudguard, it suits the pointy styling better than some gixxer ones. What year is it? (wild guess k7 600)

It's from a k4 600 with a fenda extenda

So nobody likes the screen? I love it. Especially when the sun shines through it. Looks cool

As above, B&Q and a glue gun. Easy to fit. Helps if you have tin-snips to cut it

Nice unique looking bike ...orange adds a bit of colour..how do ppl see your indicators front on? Had some on mine but took them off as i was worried about now being seen...

Must get off to B&Q for some mesh

It's a gel seat. Don't think it's any lower or higher than standard. Just cumfier

It is the official Suzuki accessory gel seat, it is not any lower or higher than the original SV seat. You can get lower seats, but not lower gel seats.
