Default My SV Perfected (in my opinion of course)

Pictures from when i first got the bike (for those who can remeber them all that time ago)

Right hand side.


Left hand side


Front



Now, after some personal refinements.






The paint is not the best but it looks ok from a distance and sounds the nuts with a decent exhaust. What do you think?

They are but its a sod to do it with stick ons without them creasing up. I was never to sure about them but in retrospect it probably would have been better to put them central rather than offset.

I like the stripes. Although would have been nicer with 1 thick 1 thin on the side?

Although it doesn't look like the radiator part actually has any holes in it?

Looks really good - much prefer the single round headlight to the twin streetfighter style ones - good job
