^ For a gsxr1000, that's what really after, but would settle for just the corner sliders (on left+right of cap off edges) but can't find them for the SV, only cbr, gsxrs etc etc.. do you know anyone or know a place? It's proving to be a pain in the backside after searching and searching with no result. :smt091:

All the best,
Also i'm new so hello :)

Hey! I've never seen anything like that above (sadly) but i've favorited this-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SV650-Carbon-Tank-Protector-Minitwin-SV650-Race-/200722174512?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2ebbf95230 and this which isn't protective but looks cool nonetheless http://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_95_963&products_id=1734 (http://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_95_963&products_id=1734) .
They may look good together.

Yeah never got the purpose of the fillet though, as I don't see any point in them unless your front end gets squashed to your tank lol really want the one above!!

they trouble i can see you having is attaching it to the tank, if you only go for the sides.
What are you hoping it protects the tank from?

@Daddyjob, i don't mind if it goes on and doesn't back off if im honest :P from crashing, if the handlebars crush into the tank it's more resistant against caving in as it were

not really, during a crash a lot of force will smash the handlebars through the guard and into the tank. The tanks is a lot thicker and stronger than a guard will be.
