Well, as my bike wont bl00dy start tonight I may as well put a piccy or two up of it. I have just added a Powerbronze belly pan but not had a chance to take any snaps of it yet.

I have a complete set of front and rear pegs awaiting powdercoating so it should look well moody by the time I have finished.

I think the can makes it. What is it? One of those street extremes?

It is a Street Extreme but I think it's an early one as it takes the normal link pipe.
I got it off Scorpion for £156 using the crash replacement scheme they operate.:D

very nice

a bellypan would finish it off


whats where the rear left footpeg was?

Hovis, that's a disc lock holder which I made to give the holes for the removed footrest a purpose in life.

Oh, and I fitted a Powerbronze bellypan tonight seeing as I can't get the sodding thing started to go out for a ride.

Problem sorted


All sorted now.
Dodgy connection in the clutch switch.
I reckon I must have knocked it when cleaning it at work yesterday.
Everything looked OK last night when I was trying to source the culprit but today I noticed it.
I am either lucky it was nothing too serious or a prat for not checking the connections more thoroughly last night.
I am putting my money on the latter.............................:rolleyes:

That's a neat idea. What did you use

Stu, that is wahat I was expecting, actually I was expecting worse.

Pencilshavings, it is a Suzuki one, they are the best I reckon and possibly worth the extra £££.

Darren, I used Foamex (I think that's what it is called). Available from signwriters, just ask for any offcuts. It is easily cut and shaped and does the job very nicely for free.

Agreed mine was an excellent fit, i've heard lots of problems with fitment of aftermarket ones. Plus it looks like it belongs!!!

Loving the bike, i think if i were to get another SV it would have to be a naked. Quiet fancy a naked thou :cool:
