Hi guys.
As some of you have probably guessed/heard (after a couple of threads about buying advice) i went to see a bike today! I am now the very proud owner of an 08 black sv650s! Couldnt be happier, paid a little more than i was hoping, but it was well worth it in my opinion! So im well chuffed! ![]() Frustrating that iv not got the mod2 test until the end of the month but i saw this bike and didnt want to wait for someone else to snap it up! Anyway, looking to have a bit of a play around with it, and to get used to it while iv got it sat in the garage. Couple of easy mods i think, seat cowl fenda extenda, new screen maybe.....when iv got the money at least. But first up what tail tidy? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Evotech-Tail-T...80865250554570 evo tech or http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT or are there any other decent ones i should take a look at? Cheers |

Basically totally stock at the moment!
But here she is, looking at getting a tail tidy and some mini idicators to go with it, and hopefully a high exhaust, but if i do get it i think il settle in with the bike a bit first before i start hacking at it! |

i bought the evotech tail tidy last Wednesday and fitted it yesterday!! Nice job simple enough fitted, its comes with written instructions no pics, but still handy enough fitted, only took about 1-2hrs total to take off rear end, fit tail tidy and re-attach rear end (including a quick polish to remove finger prints).
Take of side panels under seat, remove seat and rear seat, disconnect the battery, remove screws and black popper fittings, remove rear fairing, remove standard tail, disconnect lights, fit lights to tail tidy and then reverse the first few stages. (disconnecting battery means u need to reset the clock on dash just so u know.) Oh and under the rear seat there is a small fuse box which clips onto the standard tail tidy just with rubber grips, the evotech tail tidy doesnt come with a method of attaching this to the tail tidy however i cable tied it to the frame.

Get R&G or Motoslider crash bungs first! I have R&G ones but they no longer sell bungs separately ...motosliders do but are US based...
Tail tidy, I went with R&G again, no complaints, some have had issue with the LED plate light in the past but not me...the evotech tidy uses the OEM plate light I think?
