New hugger + Gilles rear sets!! - SV650.org

Rich · 24-01-09, 07:48 PM

Fitted my powerbronze hugger today, looks fantastic i reakon. I was abit worried about the blue mesh but it sets off the rest of the blue great.

Fitting the rear sets went ok. I had to use the original gear lever plate that holds the adjuster on, and getting the old gear lever off was fun. The 18inch stilsons came out

and did the job!!

Everything else was as easy as 123, glad i chose the black i think gold or Titainium would have been abit much.

Well took my exhaust off today

ready for fitting to Mikes bike tomorrow

. Will miss it....... up until i get me full system

.. Be good to get rid of the crud collector under the bike!!! Can't wait

Looking good. I think some blue rim tape would set it off nicely

I honestly think the standard item looks much better. I like huggers to be quite subtle.

Gilles are nice though

Prepare for endless stabbing yourself in the calf when pushing it around
