She's at my dad's place at the moment, dad came out & sh*t himself when he saw the state of the SV. (He's not into bikes & never has been)

Half way through fitting the evotech tail tidy....

Yea, it looks worse than it is.

I gurantee I can put it back together & have at least 2 screws left over. Wait, no, that's not supposed to happen.

Bugger!

For those doubters who think I have no room under the pillion seat (there aint much, granted, but enough for me):

And kwak, yes, she needs a clean, but, erm, the sun is shining! I have nice scenery all around me. Sorry fella, but I'm off out for a ride (after tweaking suspension a little - down on rear preload 1 notch, down on front pre-load 1 full turn)!!

Only problem with doing this is the lack of mounting point for the relays and tank support.

I have cut the original parts off my old under tray but not managed to fasten them back in yet.

Also riding on dirty roads on a regular basis (looks like you do) remember to clean the back light before you get every time.

You want the address? :D

Drop your bike off, I'll remove your alarm from the loom, you can clean mine :D

ivantate, no dirt roads, just a serious lack of cleaning :oops: Also, builders sand not that far from the bike over the few days when I was doing the tail tidy, and it got kicked around by the wind. Result, one sandy bike :(

I'll admit that at first, I wired the indicators backwards :oops: I considered leaving them like that, just for a giggle, but figured that I'd best sort it because of the safety aspect. I just didn't pay attention to the colour of the wires when plugging it together again.
