You are never going to have the minimalist look for a hugger on the Pointy SV because of the plain swingarm design and lack of mounting points. Because the hugger has to use the chain guard mounts, it replaces the chainguard and immediately becomes bigger and bulkier for it.

If you don't mind about the chain flinging crap everywhere you could trim down the front and back end of the chain guard of the Pyramid hugger, and they look an awful lot better in black as well.

Or you could buy a curvy! You can get very short huggers (more of a small splash guard really) that bolt directly into the swingarm in front of the tyre as Suzuki actually provided mounting points on these models.
