SV stuff at the bike show
 
OK so I'm excited already, I've got a modest budget sorted out for going and have a wish list that would make santa cry.

Are there any SV specific (or SV related) stuff I should be looking for? like JHS or something?

or maybe just recommendations of what to look out for, pyramid have already been mentioned as good for huggers etc

I believe James and Co are going but not as a retail shop, most of the things you will see there for the SV will be plastics and slip-ons along with universal products like paddock stands, etc...

Cool thanks for that Dave, Kinda thought that might be the case but just wondered in case there was something I was missing :)

You never know, but to be honest tuning products for SV's aren't usually the things you find at the bike shows....

I'd be going to the Pro Bolt stand, Abba stand,looking for a double bubble screen, a new helmet & maybe some leathers.

But I'll probrably wait for the Excell show in early 2009

First time I've heard of anyone actually waiting for that show :eek:

Tis just a bit more closer than NEC show, unless I can get a Zafira full to justify the fuel.
Plenty of bargins at the Excell show last year. But it's not as big as the NEC show.
:rolleyes:

Do you mean Jan 2008 (this year) or Jan 2007 (last year)?

I went in 2007 - it was reeeealllly bad IMO. Hardly any stalls, they just spread them wider to try and make it bigger - didn't go this year for that very reason (although I heard it was better this year). In contrast, the NEC when I last went - Nov 2006 I think - was very good, I'm going again this year (was away when it was on last year I think).

If you want a good show in London, I have high hopes for the Ally Pally show now it's back next year (Feb/March time).
