before i got my bike sprayed i couldn't find any pictures of a white sv650s online.

so i chanced it any way and got mine sprayed and here is the result


spray cost me £250


changed rim tape in the end. i also worked out how to use photo shop so here pictures.

Now that it's primed...what colour are you gonna spray it? :rolleyes:

Looks good mate, there were pics of a white one from the US/Canada on here a while ago. SVrider.com may have more, but I think red bits would go best.

That there is proper SV porn! Bit of advice tho, take out the bottom baffle on the blue flame and put the top one in. IMO the bottom baffle makes it look like a fake outlet and kinda spoils the dual port look! Oh and it'll sound better (mine defo did)

good work fella! ;)

Nooooooooooo what have you done to my bike???

Only joking mate, looks quality. Did you put the red rim tape on before or after the respray.

Are you gonna put stickers on? I'd be tempted to leave it as it is. Or put a small SV sticker on the tank Ducati 848 style.

The top baffle on that can makes no difference, the bottom one is where the noise is made. But take them out, at least to see what it's like.

thanks for the comments guys and yeah i been wondering about which one to have in. I would love to have them both out but i would be asking for trouble from the men in blue if i did. and i do agree the bottom hole sounds better than the top.

the curvy looks nice not my style but probably more comfortable to rid.

i yet to have this on the road yet as not got insurance for it. Unfortunately the company i am with dont do multi bike so have to wait until renewal or get a month insurance which is £100!!!!!


my cosine did spray job thats why it cost £250 usually £400. someone else was getting their SV650 pointy sprayed as i collected my parts lol. they want it in red............when i just sprayed over my red to get it white. sods law.....

Lenny i put tape on before spray and looked awesome in red. But i wanted a white bike. i am tempted to get a blue dragon decal on it or something but i think it looks plan white.

Also after all the hassel getting it white really cant be bothered to do anything else with it

I think a blue dragon would look ghey. The red rim tape goes well with the white, i'd just get a small red sv sticker like this

meh looks alright for a pointy ;)

there was a time when he had some lol

nope i never did, i am thinking about buying some poly26 lowers and seeing what they would be like but IMO the curvy SV doesn't suit any sort of lowers on it

what undertray is that you have on... i have std black plastic but with tail tidy there is a slight gap... doesnt appear to be a gap on yours.

Kiggles that looks ace mate - at the back of my mind I've wanted to do that to mine for ages but could never really justify spending the money to do it :(

My 2p worth - get original-style decals i.e. the 'SV650' logo on the nose fairing and the Suzuki 'S' logo on the tank but get them in Red with some black detail, maybe a drop-shadow. Also in my head I always thought it would look quite cool with the wheels powder-coated in chav-tastic gold! 8)

sorry for late reply its pymid plastics under tray. i tried other ones wasted both alot of money and time. but i have two of these undertrays. although a complete B**** to fit, fits perfectly with all holes lining up. if anyone one trys doing this they do fit but they do leave the bike panels under a little tension but do have a good finish.

Looks good. I think it would look even better if you painted the front mudguard black though.
