What could I improve on my bike! - SV650.org

Just fitted an R&G tail tidy, I must say im pleased with the results!
What do you think i could do to improve it even more?!
P.s I don't want to stubby my can

Also the rim tape looks terrible in the picture Not sure why it looks like that..

Remove the rim tape

Seriously though, are you asking about improving the bike or improving the way the bike looks? Two different things..

Improving the bike - Suspension, brakes, full stainless system, pcIII and some dyno time.

Improving the looks - You've made a good start on the back end. To really clean up the lines an evotech exhaust hanger would look nice and does away with the pillion pegs. Some smaller led indys will also look a lot better than the stock lenses. After that you could consider aftermarket screen (dark or smoked), mirrors, slightly smaller number plate (for track use obviously

) aftermarket rear sets can look cool as well. The options are endless and of course are all down to personal taste.

And money! Biggest factor!

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's been scientifically proven to give a bike full blown aids

Just about every disease in the world!

your pointy is looking good. Back end looks good now, although I recently put my snow plough back on, got fed up with the rear of the bike getting filthy.

Most people here modify, Im trying to put mine back to semi standard
