Nice bike mate, great pictures...

Maybe you could scale your avatar to fit in with the forum guidelines.... It's a bit on "big" side...

What's the matting you used over the rear to stop the straps rubbing?

WHY GO TO SCOTLAND ON THE SV?


HERES WHY.
www.scotlandthemovie.com

Found this site I think its great .I know you don’t need any more reasons to ride your SV in Scotland other than you already have. Beautiful roads fantastic scenery no bugger to get in your way and spoil your ride. But this is another opportunity for an excuse to pop up there. If you have a favourite Scottish film or TV series and you want to find it’s location then here you are. www.scotlandthemovie.com


Mine is Local Hero (1983)

Nice looking bike. 8)

What i wanna know tho is what are all those peeps looking at behind that white van?
I like the Dunlop on the forks too, but tell me, are you gonna feel a little silly if you run any rubber other than Dunlop?

Shame, almost thought of a new topic for discussion and photo's there....

The folks in the white van had just seen a Kawasaki, amazed that it had made it this far north.....As for Dunlop, I only use Dunlop tyres because my chum works for them.

Ah, handy having a mte who can get tyres at knock dowm prices. I envy you.

but then again the Dunny 208s i had on last year didnt exactly impress me and were very twitchy in the wet.
What you got on there now then? And how do you find them in general?

big twin grin
02-02-06, 03:40 PM
The wheels are off at present. Going to have a look at some tyres tomorrow at ally pally. I was going to look at the 208's this time. You dont rate them then? My mate has pilot powers on his rsvr. Says they are awesome.

Spiderman
02-02-06, 03:49 PM
Yeh i had the 208s then went onto the Pilot powers too, still got the rear of that at home too.
i like the pilots, they were grippy enough once up to temp but a little squirmy for me when you first get going. But then its only a few hundered yards from home before i hit dual carriageway so its not like they get time to get up to temp.

I prefered the pilots to the 208s for sure. Then when i got the current rubber, the conti attacks, they really showed me how little i was tipping the bike over on the pilots.

I'd say the contis i'm on now are good wet or dry but i have heard some very good things about the new Vipers too from someone who used to run the contis.

Damn straight and your not too old hun :kiss:

You can buy those clear alternative indicators from demon tweeks for alot less as they are already imported I believe, also check out ebay as alot pop up there as it shares the indicators with the gsxr also i think
