Cool.... Looking good, Dan
What is the final 10% ?
Only one thing I dis-like is the monster decal. It doesn't go with the black / white theme. but that is just me :0)
Love it! :cool: Exactly the colour scheme I'm toying with, although I'm contemplating taking off the fairing and making it a bit cafe racer.
In the mean time I've got some of those stripes waiting to be fitted tommorow :D

White looks V cool, stripe is good. Not so keen on some of the other graphics TBH, sorry. And you need to do something with the holes where the grab rail once was. But overall great job.

I know you said the thing was to be painted, and looks good. But the belly pan is has to be sorted before you take it on the road and Preston it. (Good excuse to do a propoer paint job then)
Whats with the tie wraps on the fork lowers?

Need to do the wheels, will be powdercoated black, also want to change the mirrors as they are scuffed

Wondering what to do about that. I know the thou has an infill wondering if I could get something like that, failing that will think of something!

Well being a mate of his you must have caught his crashing bug. So next time you paint it you can do the job properly. I recommend a mix of blue on one side, yellow on t'other, and a big pair of gay boy pink bars.
I was doing it to my tastes Wilky.. not yours!!! And no dont intend to throw this one down the road!!
Love the white and like the stripe down it too..
Not sure about the Monster graphics - but its to your taste not mine - But good looking bike there - you have done a good job! :thumright: Give yourself a big gold star! :sunny:

it looks amazing mate good job. how did you put the black line down your white? is it a decal. looking at adding something to my white SV but not sure what atm. I reconmend getting an undertray. i feel it enhancing the look of the SV all when matched to the colour of the bike. duno if any one agree's but here some shots of my white SV
if you used decals how much they cost??????????

Seem pretty good, however they are an absolute biatch to fit if you are ham fisted like me!
I am probably going to get another set but this time get them fitted professionally :rolleyes:

I recently sold a curvy seat cowl to mister c (http://forums.sv650.org/member.php?u=5663) that was designed to be fitted without the grab rail. The thou seat is different altogether.

Okay so how does one of those work? :wink:
singing arm oops!!! lol
sorry paul ok its a bromance just didnt wana upset girth!!
OFFICIAL: White is the new black. Very nice.
Just a couple of things.....
If you don't take pillions then invest in a nice can hanger. Tidies up the back end loads when you've got the cowl on anyway.
Paint the mirrors white to tie into the paintscheme.
Thats about it tho.

kiggles that looks spot on! maybe slam some smaller indicators on and do the mirrors, wheels n swingarm like others have suggested and that will look the business!
