Greetings fellow SV-ers! I have just bought a 2001 SV650S which so far I have only ridden 250 miles home in pouring rain. I have to say it is a sure-footed little bike, no hairy moments so far.

I want to put a softer seat on it (ouch my sore ar*e!) plus panniers and a top box. My question to you guys is what systems do you recommend (funds are not limitless)? If I start with a top box only, do I need a rack or frame or can plates be fitted using the rear seat pad fittings?

Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

Andrew.
