![]() Fortunately its not expensive to fix the problem with independent companies producing solutions. I mean I don't commute any more by Motorbike but this would be a must have to stop the Suzuki build... |

![]() I can't for the life of me get the images to appear without the link. But you get the idea. I was just tired of cleaning the underneath in this weather. Why Suzuki never made the original mud... |

![]() Managed to find a rear hugger on ebay by a chap that makes them out of fibre glass. Come in black and white gloss. Works well. Replaces he chain gaurd and a great fit. Works well and looks like... |

![]() Always use the rear! Much easier to control a slide than the front giving way on wet white lines or manhole covers ;-) Also stops the bike diving so much too! |

![]() Suppose at that angle its weight is almost supported anyway and the down tubes are quite substantial. I men if it falls off I guess its just more weight reduction right? |

![]() Interesting but can 10w of power really heat you up that much? When I used to ride all year round. I found it was never my core that was cold. More the fingers and toes and neck. And you need... |

![]() I never thought the standard stuff was that horrendous if I'm honest. However I certainly don't push as much as I used to when I was younger. Is the old stuff on it currently very worn? Some... |

![]() I think for that price it would be hard to beat as I don't think you'll get it much cheaper. Plus you'll save skin on your hands and any issues you can take it back. Is this a local company to... |

![]() Smaller the can louder it will be yes. Less material and baffle to absorb the sound. I've never bothered as I'm keeping the SV400 as standard as possible. But I know the OEM kit is very heavy... |

![]() I've found the first generation speedometer pretty inaccurate too. Below 50mph it under reads then over 50mph it starts to over read. Anyone else noticed that? |
