Bought my SV a few weeks ago. Everything was pretty much stock, so i went a bit crazy and ordered a few things off the tinternet to improve its looks.

When i bought it -

And after 2 days of blood, sweat and tears fitting the parts -

I might attempt to fit some smaller indicators next. And buy some different mirrors again. I ordered them ones off the net, but they're absolutely rubbish. They're magnified ones, so it looks like cars are right up my a*se, but infact they're about 20 metres away.

I'd go for a tail tidy next, then braided lines.. already looks 10x better than before, must be said. :)

Yeah, you can do. They're Dominators lights. Come in chrome, black, or a carbon fibre look i think.

I'd recommend the Beowulf can..it sounds great. Nice deep, loud growl to it. Black zorst on a black bike also looks rather sexy.

Got a pic of yours you can post?

Yeah, took it off. Don't think it'll be going back on anytime soon.

And yep, 2 days to fit basic'ish stuff. I'm rubbish at bike mechanics, but i usually get there in the end.
