I'm looking at fitting one to my Daytona.

Its easy to not notice what gear your in when ragging it through the back lanes with earplugs in.

Obviously after a while you get used to looking at the rev counter and know what gear your in but having a digi display, right there in front of you as a quick reference can only be a good thing.

You're so cruel dave, the way I look at it is that a curvy is now a bit of a classic and should be treated as such, a pointy is still just a bike, with rim tape, kinda soulless ;-) Curvy's will now start to go up in price as they get rarer, as they go for the last ride to the scrape yard, the hedge and bike heaven, pointy's will suffer this fate as well but not for 10 year s or so and until then they will be ragged and crashed by the newly qualified riders. Curvy's now have a soul :-)

allantheboss

16-01-10, 01:53 AM

Lots of people seem to dislike the pointy's "shovel", and rimtape in general, but I like them both, a lot!

I didn't like the curvy's "shovel" much, but I only cut it shorter, I didn't replace. I like it being big, bulky, and visible, with indicator/wings!

The previous owner took delivery of it on the 29th Decemeber 2004, just before the new model with the black frame came out, so my guess is Suzuki was half way through the switchover and he got the black wheels instead of the silver ones. Black wheels look so much better anyway :D It was yellow brand new so no colour changes, I thought all original yellow SVs were supposed to have silver frame and wheels.

I like the Curvy tubular frame more than the Pointy extruded frame, but I totally dislike the Curvy faring.

Given the choice and an inexhaustible budget, would build my own SV with a curvy frame and pointy fairing and motor. Mind you I would have to use a different swing arm, maybe a nice curvy Spondon.

You see folks, we should embrace each other, we are not different, we all love the SV be it curvy or pointy. we should just make the Org a big love in, with lots of cuddling and stroking of SV motorcycles. Let the love flow, lets us hold each other and smile as we love our brothers and sisters in the SV world.

Nice but ...
Solo seat mod
clear indy lenses
Crash bungs
breaded hoses (why is your front link hose that low, cable tie it to the other one, it's to close to the wheel)

But nice - looks like my old k3

She is a K4 and I have only just bought her so I have not had much of a chance to modify her. She is in the workshop getting a new chain and a set of sprockets till mid week
