Progression from silver to black sv pointy

[renman8957]

Finally decided to change the sv from being silver with scrapes and marks all over it thanks to luggage bags and a drop, to black. Heres the pictures I took during the progression over the winter

Apologies for them being click links rather than just the pictures on the page, some seemed to work and others didn't when I tried that

Edit :-Sorted it. ;-)

[warrenhewitt10]

Love the umbrella shot.

Could you please hang on to all your silver parts for me ready for my next crash? :) ta

BTW did you remember to inform the DVLA? (& possibly your insurance)

[Richie]

damn, I just did that too.... must look at all posts before altering the original. ;-)

[renman8957]

Yes, its down on teh v5 as black now, thanks for the reminder incase I hadn't haha. Thanks Warren, always have to but in and fix my mess, but thanks for the help with fitment etc

[cbay]

Sorry don't want to be rude but having the vinyl sticker "Suzuki" under the SV650S on the front looks awful and out of place.

Just a tip.

[renman8957]

I'm trying out different things, have some other vinyls planned to go on, see what I think then decide then, probably will go back to just the standard stickers. Open to critics, everyone has their own tastes

I'm impressed you took it well! But fair play on the colour change! Looks like a nice job.

When I have loads of time, I wouldn't mind getting another bike and spraying it white with some ace vinyls on it. :-P One day....

[renman8957]

White would be fantastic, especially the white from the likes of the focus st, that very bright and noticeable white. One day indeed, we can all dream, or throw money at it, either way

[urbane1]

One of this years colour options here is white with two blue stripes down the middle. Looks really cool!

[Nick_69]

Here is the 2010 sv in white very nice http://liveimages.redbook.com.au/bikepoint/bike/spec/SUZU0271.jpg

[The Guru]

Remember and update DVLA of colour change

[renman8957]

Yep, have done already, v5 is back with me and now registered as a black bike
http://file050a.bebo.com/6/original/2010/01/21/11/1142941387a12124457707o.jpghttp://file050a.bebo.com/21/original/2010/01/21/11/1142941387a12124457723o.jpgThink those would get through and mot? Not using the indicator part of them. On a related note, how do you fit a honda relay from halfords to slow down the indicator flashing rate? I've got the relay but I've no idea

[cbay]

Oh yes! Make sure you tell the DVLA to update ur V5 otherwise if you get caught they may fine you...

[cbay]

http://liveimages.redbook.com.au/bikepoint/bike/spec/SUZU0271.jpg

That looks ace!!! If that was fully faired it would be amazing!

[cbay]

Now that looks amazing!!!

[renman8957]

Not a fan of those red seats at all, but otherwise yeh, its excellent, a few mods here and there and it'd be stunning

[cbay]

How did you paint yours then? Sand it, prime it, spray it?

[ophic]

How did you paint yours then? Sand it, prime it, spray it?
and did you inform the DVLA? :p :smt096:joker:

[renman8957]

Just bought the various parts off members on here and from ebay, already painted, worked out a nice bit cheaper than having it sprayed, but a few of the pieces do have a couple of scrapes etc, but its much much better than it was before

[renman8957]

YES I INFORMED THE DVLNI (since its northern ireland) Been asked a few times, yes its now registered as a black bike

[hindle8907]

:smt026dont forget to notify the DVLA of the colour change:smt026

good job

[renman8957]

does anyone read the posts I put here? lol

[Dave20046]

I think that was a joke ;)

[warrenhewitt10]

so whats the tinted lights like?

[Owenski]

You told the DVLA, I once heard they'll fine you if you dont notify them of a colour change.

How much did the re-spray cost?

;)

[ophic]

I think that was a joke ;)
Well if you think the DVLA is a joke, you might get a fine you know...

[Richie]

So it is true.
All Silver Sv's are in primer after all...

(I can say it now I don't own one anymore.. ;-) )

oh, and just to let you know, DVLNI were notified to the fact you changed the colour.

[renman8957]

Haha who are these companies, never heard of them. Lights seem to be ok, no-one crashed into me so I'd say all is well

[FlyinCustard]

Found this and I think ur right it looks mint:D

[Dave20046]

Is it just me or does the backend look weirdly low on those pictures? They definitely had the right idea with the k3 imo!
Looks good, not fond on the red seats though.

By the way, dont bother to inform the DVLA, you live in Northern Ireland.
