Spent the day individualising my bike by sort of copying sort of Tas Racing's Relentless Suzuki and making an SV version, in the next week or two it will have a new can poss a Scorpion Stubby Etreme wotsit, MTC or Viper. Looked at Leo Vince but not convinced by the price, Remus was good though but standard size and I fancy a short one. Mivv full system was favourite but the £600 + price tag wasn't. New Black seat will also be purchased, hate the red one. Opinions on the look so far welcome, too much or not enough yet?

Your purple paddock stand ruins the whole effect :p
Personally, to many stickers and I dont like rim tape. Peel it all off, put the black seat on and then leave it like that. Would look much nicer IMHO.
But its your bike and if you like it, then thats all good :cool:

Thanks,
Always had my bikes pretty much standard and lived with them happily I love riding this bike, it's so easy, but in plain livery it just wasn't doing it for me when I looked at it, hence the need to experiment! Maybe I'll reconsider the look based on the replies cos I'm not 100% sure but I think I like it, :cool:
'Fastest lipstick' LOL!

I would avta agree with fizzwheel there, peel em all off and mebe just leave the rimtape. A black seat is a must tho, would give the bike a nice 'stealth look and finish it with a scorpion street extreme in carbon :cool:
nice bike regardless of the stickers tho

Sticker kit's look gash. It's a bog standard road bike, don't tart it up like a race bike.

Theres a dead bit in the hedge that needs looking at.
As for the bike, its a pointy with too many stickers, and I bluddy hate rim tape. If it had been left alone I'd have thought it almost pretty....for a pointy!
Sorry :-(

I reckon the pointies look alright like that if they're made as stealth as possible.
Paint everything black, fork lowers, clipons, foot controls etc. Add a blacked stainless pipe (beowulf do some nice ones) :)

Indeed they do, and they do look good on a black SV too:cool:

so you like pointies as long as they're barely visible? :p

Yeah, like a hot girl only the other way round... a pointy SV should be heard and not seen.

Surely you mean obscene and not heard;)

Lol, nice comments, not, oh well I asked didn't I. S'funny tho I would never have looked at a curvy SV, always assumed they were a girls bike, put some points on it and it takes on a whole new masculine image!
:smt046
Thinking that I might agree about the rim tape.

Phoned Beowulf today and didn't think the girl was all that helpful really, shame as nice looking cans (Idon't mean she had nice looking cans). All I was asking about was the link pipe and it's suitability to fit in behind the Lambda sensor, she didn't know and said it 'should' fit! Not exactly confidence inspiring. I would have hoped she would have put me on to someone that could have answered the question but no joy, hey ho their loss.

Lambda sensor directly under footpeg? Miles off.

Red bits on wheels now gone and yes it does look better!
I'm a rim tape hater but I thought yours looked pretty good, not least because you had obviously taken care to get it stuck on properly. I had to look carefully to see the decals on the tail piece. It's the hotseat, that's why it's red:p The standard can is truly atrocious, you need to get rid asap.
