New Pointy - Recommended Mods?

Hello Everyone , I'm new.

Just bought myself a K6 SV650 (naked) in Napoleon Blue and am looking to fit a belly pan, hugger and Fly screen as soon as possible. Along with a few other choice bits (Fenda Extenda - No Brainer, Loud Can - Because i like them like that!)

I'm currently looking at the Pyramid plastics stuff but wouldnt mind knowing what you guys all think of them? I gather they're decent quality but have concerns about the looks. Any of you have these fitted? What do they look like? Anyone have some photo's to show me? or What others would you recommend? Cheers Guys

Pyramid plastics are good . Nearly everyone here has a fender extender on there bike .
Hi and welcome to the forum

Welcome!

I have the Pyramid Fender Extender and the Puig Hugger, both were on when I bought the bike. Both do the job well AFAIK.

I dont have a fender extender :/ or a hugger :\ Just not too my taste really, dont think they suit the pointys at all. It does mean more cleaning though.
As for mods, 99% will say get the suspension sorted first, like a zx6 shock and progressive fork springs would be the best way to go, unless you have good money to spend then go for the gixer front end.

I'd say you don't even notice a fender extender once it's on. Once you've been caught in a downpour and you get a wet front plug I guarantee you'll want one. Worth their weight in gold and an absolute must IMHO.

in order

1. scotoiler. your wallet will love you.
2. fender extender
3. suspension
4. can

Sintered (HH) brake pads and braided lines.

Or you could just maintain the front plug area and make sure the HT lead is properly seated, with the seal in place.

My K6 has been ridden in all weathers and never had Soggy Plug Syndrome

Thanks for the advice guys - I'm definitely going for the fender extender, hugger and belly pan, more for cleanliness sake than anything. Can anyone recommend a good fly screen too??

I'm more about the cosmetics for now, suspension and brake upgrades will get sorted once i've got some miles under my belt and the bike is "resting" over the worst of winter.

Planned mods so far - Hugger, Bellypan, Exhaust, Scottoiler, R&G Crashbungs (cos i'm a new rider and you never know!), Clear Indicators.

I did it this way cause it's easier than performance mods. Anything you do yourself will make you more familiar with your bike. If not doing trackdays then cosmetic mods are fine 1st.

But I wanted to track it, so these performance essentials first:

• Tyres - Don't underestimate the effect of a good pair (for road or track). If you have standard or low rated tyres, replace immediately.
• Suspension - You'll do it eventually, it can be hassle and more expensive than cosmetic mods but do it now, get it right and you will learn far more about both the bike and your riding. Upgrade options are numerous.
• Screen & Fender eliminator - two easy mods.

Rest has been said. Heard scottoilers are great but I regularly lubricate & this works for me. Don't know about fender extender. Can someone please enlighten me about the plug problem?

Enjoy.
