^ 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!!

I'll ask my bro if he can make one .
Get back to u
Yeah if you could mate would be much appreciated!!
I could be interested aswell!?
Hahaha, stealing my ideas MMN :D
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?
Hahaha, stealing my ideas MMN :D
I have more Carbon on my sv then most other.
Carbon rear and front fender
Carbon motorcover left and right
Carbon exhaust.
Looking to buy Carbon sidepanels.
@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.
resistant, also cosmetic :P
