After my long running debate with HEL on the correct length for SV650 brake hoses we have finally reached an agreement. All serviced and much spit and polish applied to.

Pics are quite big dialup peeps, sorry

Black, naked, and polished? This is good.

However... new can, twin lights, different mirrors - these really are essential ;).

Sadly the front pipe only stayed like that for about 10 mins !
Very impressed with the braided hoses, although I'm having to learn to be a bit more diligent with the rear as have a had a couple of minor lock ups :oops:

A new can is deffo on the cards at some point, not sure about twin headlights though.

EDIT - Just noticed how scabby the rad looks in those photos, might have to get one of those rad cover thingies.
