Eddie , open the Indies , take out the Amber bulbs and fit some Silvered bulbs that glow Amber , that would be a nice and simple improvement right away , other than that , tis looking good with that can :)
looks good, is there a tail tidy out yet?
had a good look at a Gladius at cupar, good news is a front end swap would be really easy as the speedo drive is in not on the front wheel...

Have you had it on the dyno with the new end can? Be interesting to know if it makes a difference.

Nice mate....i like:thumbsup:
Sorry, but the belly pan just looks way too far forward to me. :confused: Pete and I both wonder if you've fitted it correctly and it should be fitted further back.

i would think it unlikely. haven't they just used the same engine as in the pointy sv? :confused:
bike does look very smart though.

Correct me if im wrong but think theyve done abit of fiddling to the SV engine aqnd its got a little bit more BHP..... The bikes growing on me though, especially in blue.

Think it's got a couple more. A dealer told me they have changed the fueling on the overrun to reduce engine braking. A totally non-scientific test performed by me suggested not a huge reduction, if any.
So which mag will be the first to do a head-to-head?

Its probably the same mould as they use for the Pointies - and the Pointies have the oil-cooler which fills the cap between the engine and the point of the belly pan.
With open-air there, it just makes it look bigger.
Is fitted correctly going by there it meets the engine on the right side.
Looks great, love the colours on it :cool:

OK, somebody has to say it.
I dont like that. They look like they have been battered with an ugly stick. Naked bikes do nothing for me in the first place and the gladis is goddam f'ugly.
First mod for me would be to get rid of that rear footpeg thing. then a decent seat and tail end. put on some proper forks, clip ons/brakes and rear shock with some damping adjustment and nice plastic to hide that hideous frame.

Have you got shares in Ermax m8:D I really like that Screen and the tail piece. Can you gave me any info on the screen. What's it like on the move. Does it shift the air OK, And is there any chance you could take your seat of and take a photo in how the tail peice is fitted to the seat.
Here's a pic of mine.

don't need to do all that this is my? Fun bike cos i have a gsxr to play with
Seat cover slips over seat screen does help around 130mph head down ass up
I must admit I thought they were goddamn fugly at first but it has grown on me and I am considering it as my next bike. After seeing yours with the few mods that you have done I am seriously considering it.
that looks very nice
as said before some silver indicator bulbs would finish that off lovely
Good job!

I have to admit that out of the colours available the blue/white looks the best.
