sorry mate, yeah thats the one?

Have you any other tuning bits on the bike?
(the main feedback I've heard from this mod is that the induction sound is unbearable, that sounds unbelievable...as we all like to hear a bit of a snort... but I trust the people that said it!)

Think there's a difference of opinion regarding fitting these ( or doorstops ) to curvy or pointy. Which bike is yours ?

K5 SV650s, just looked like it could be worth it for a few quid.

will make no bloody difference what so ever on a FI road going pointy. buy the mirror spacers instead, they make a difference.
