Ok i have a standard sv 650 sport, took the bottom fairing off, wondering how easy it would be to fit a belly pan and if i need to fit anything else for protection or to make it look that extra better :).
Now if i got a belly pan what colour should i get, as you'll see from a picture of my bike below it's abit hard to get hold of.
5987
Also what other mods can i do that are resonably priced and i can do without spending a bomb. i was thinking...
- New indicators (any recommendations?)
- New Screen tinted or black (again where do i go)
Any other mods i should try to have a little change to my bike, cheers Matt.
... and yes i'm bored because of my broken elbow can't ride!
Go to fleabay and look at the shiney chrome radiator and oil cooler grills with sv engraved in them!
Most people on here will recommend a doublebubble front screen, someone more knowledgeable will tell u wer is cheapest but they offer best wind protection alledgedly!
I also recommend mini indies and a tailtidy if u don't already have one on it!

I've got some nice bar ends and a neat tail tidy, just need to get some crash bobbins on top of that thinking about it.
What colour belly pan should i get though to match my bike is a major issue, im rubbish at matching colours, also i could get a rear hugger but again what colour?
Cheers.

Like you've said crash bungs, screen, maybe indicators. I'd also look at suspension, one of the best things about my bike (compared to stock).
You prefer the bellypan look to the full faired look then?
just get a belly pan sprayed to match the colour. A local body shop should be able to do this.
Then sell me the lowers :cool:

A reason to come on the isle of man trip :)
I have a carbon fiber pattern hugger on my blue curvy, matches my carbon fibre yolk cover and guage surround... Looks pretty nice IMO
I've got an iridium screen in the garage which might fit, if you want it...

Real carbon fibre bellypan, hugger and mudguard might look good. Expensive though.
Edit: Or you could always keep it the same colour, think I would tbh.

Indeed it wud look good but I had to make do with replica as money isn't exactly falling off trees ATM haha
the carbon fibre look huggers arn't all that bad lookin tbh but can't beat the real deal of course! Keepin the hugger the same colour does look well though too, it's down to preference just, try and find photos of both see what u think is the best way!!

Do you think i'll match my SV's looks, and more importantly my own personal sexiness of course.
No seriously pm me a price and either when i'm over or if it'll fit your bike for plan0man i'll probably have it off you, just pm me over a price that'd be soundddddddd :)

My problem is mate finding the stuff in the same colour for my bike is a nightmare, there basically isn't anything, hell finding the name of the colour out for us was hard enough, someone on ar sent me a link with it but i even lost that :P
I sent you the info before Matt .
It's code YDV, Ecluase Silver and you can get the paint. I'll see if I've got the previous PM still in a minute.
Keep the lowers
Powerbronze Dubbly Bubbly Dark
R&G's
LED Indy's all round
HID Kit upfront
Seat Cowl if you haven't got one
All these aren't too expensive, but if you want performance related I'd go for suspension first.

Ah yes it was you sir, i knew it was the lovely couple from AR, i do remember the post just couldn't remember your forum name or what the link was, ta.
Just had a look mate and I don't have the PM I sent anymore. I should have the paint link in my favorites somewhere.
Other options:
Paint your forks black
Rear hugger
Nice black bolt kit all round
Braided lines
