Re: Are SV1000 really an investment?

I’ve been tracking the prices of the SV1000 SZ (Full-faired, limited edition version) for the last few years now and they seem to be at the bottom of their price curve with the best ones now heading...

Re: Bike venting fuel through filler cap?

That sounds ominously possible especially if it is venting fuel when the tank is not full.However, it would also mean rainwater will be able to go the other way and contaminate the fuel in the tank....

Re: WANTED: Curvy lowered/sculpted seat

Cheers for those, I had already looked through eBay and spotted them but the first one has been raised whereas I need a lowered option, if one exists.

Re: Can you identify this exhaust?

Looks remarkable similar to my Viper can (but it isn’t one). If the Beowolf baffle doesn’t work, then a Viper one might do instead.

Mister C for me.

Though LittlePeaHead gets a worthy mention for a sense of irony.

Re: Triumph Daytona 675

Re: Chain and sprockets upgrade suggestions

Fitted a DID naked sprocket and chain set to my curvy. 1 tooth extra on the rear makes a nice difference. Much punchier through the midrange. Highly recommended.

Re: For Sale - K6 fully faired, SV650S. Fantastic condition.

Have shown this advert to a friend of mine who's possibly looking at SVs. Whereabouts are you in Northants?

Re: chain & sprocket kit

Fitted a DID naked chain and sprocket kit to my curvy 'S' model - 1 extra tooth on the rear for slightly nipper gearing. Very happy, always cleans up beautifully.

Re: Front & rear stands

I'm not able to arrange someone to collect them so I'll have to pass them up I'm afraid.

Re: Front & rear stands

I'm interested in these, but a bike is my only form of transport - I have a mate who's down Brizzle way reasonably often though. If I can get him to help out, I'll have them.
