Double bubble just bought and fitted ...
 
from a company called Racescreens I found on ebay. £32.99 plus 3 quid P & P. Ordered Saturday night and it arrived this morning (Bank Holiday Weekend too), fits perfectly, will be giving her a whirl on the motorway this week ... I couldnt be arsed putting all my bike gear on to test it out!?!

Anyway, wife starts raising eyebrows ... I says it was either that or a Fireblade. Think she's happier now. :smt003:smt003

So now I have tank bag, braided Goodridge lines (front only), double-bubble ... Crikey I'll be getting one of those noisy cans next!?

Oh and mine is curvey and Black (THE BEST COLOUR)

Tony :cool:

I had to have a similar conversation too. Only in my case the DB was an aerodynamic mod that improved fuel efficiency, therefore saving money in the long run. 8-[

Hee hee. Pete's the one who's always trying to stop ME spending money on the bike:D
My argument is, I'm on the bike as much as he is, so I also benefit from anything I buy:D

DB is a good mod, makes riding faster more comfortable.

Good point Baph. Will do Luckypants, has rubber trim as well and is a light black tint.

Yes, note to self, must clean bike and take pics for website. You've seen em all before, Black, Curvey, W reg, standard can. But close up of screen might be of use to others who are thinking of ordering.

PS I am thinking of getting a VFR800 next, but that will be a while. I will ALWAYS keep my SV, as its not worth selling at book price.

Haven't seen a DB form Racescreens yet, if you are bored or have too much time you can always add your DB experience to this thread: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=90219 :o

Which was negated by you riding faster on the way to and from work :p

Firstly, I'm in the same postion with selling ym SV - it wont ever happen. Its worth too much to me (and my R1 / tuono / RC30 ISNT having a top box!).

Secondly...if you get a VFR800, you MUST fit loud exhausts. A V4 engine on full throttle accelarating away tick-over to red-line its the most glorious sound ever. Fact.

Got a DB recently, really helps the head from doin a dance.

Just bough a (Carbon Can Company) can off the bay £99 plus £7.50 fitted in 3/4 hour before the trouble-n-strife even got home \\:D/ she'll never know I'll just coast in half way up the street and up the drive.

Mines a blue curvy.... but at least it is a curvy :)
