Hi Guys,

I have been lurking on here for a while back when i was working on getting my Bike licence. I tried out a few bikes for my first bike and fell in love with the SV. So naturally i found this site :cheers:

Anyway here's my bike

I have done a few things to the bike :-

R&G Tail tidy
Beowulf Warrior exhaust in satin black
Bi Xenon headlight convertion (Thanks again bluepete for sorting me out the dicount)

I know it would look better with the seat cowl on but i scratched it up when it came off the bike.

Things still to do :-

Rear Hugger
Black screen
indicators
Fix rear seat cowl

I use the bike for my commute into London every week. Just passed 11k since June. Arrive at work with a smile on my face always :D

Cheers,

Cookie

Which bulb combination did you choose?

Was it the twin headlight pro plus HID xenon conversion kit advertised at £91.95 + VAT on there? (any advantage of the slim kit thats an extra £20?)

And how much discount did you get? Is this something you were lucky with or do forum members get a discount there?

Thanks!

Hi Skithepowder,

Yes it was the twin headlight pro plus kit. I got the 5000k bulbs as this delivers pure white light (no blue) and depending on where you read the most light.

I went with the slim version. Even tho it was the slim version there was still a lot of wires to tuck away. If you have the fully faired version its ok, just take a little time to get it all tucked away nicely.

I PM'ed Bluepete for the discount code. Its for Forum members as far as i know. I wont give it out as its best to ask him. With the discount code i got about £32 off i think.............very nice:mrgreen:

Hope this helps mate.
