Having had a little incident with a Focus she returned from the menders yesterday.

Having had a ER6N for the last 2 1/2 months its a joy to be back on the SV. Took a few minutes to get used to the lower riding position (compared to the kwak) but it feels so much better, like your part of the machine and not perched on top. Its so much more fun and a bonus that the mirrors stay where you want them to.
Had the head bearings done whilst she was being fixed and its made a huge difference to the feel.

Happy Bunny.

Amazingly the damaged RH fairing seems to have repaired itself

Quite like the black screen, but the stickers will have to go, any tips on how to remove them?

Very nice bike in a very nice colour! How many miles has it done to benefit from the bearing refresh?

Stickers = Hair dryer
