Cheap upgrades, mods, changes to SVs or universal?
Just thought I'd start a thread that I have seen on other car forums I'm a member of and think it's a great thread for ideas.
Little changes that make a big (or little) impact in your bike for little outlay So rules are no more than £75, the cheaper the better, the easier the better You get the gyst. Not sure how many "cheap and cheerful" mods there are for bikes been fairly new but throw your ideas up. Thanks |

Dark tint double bubble screen - I think I bought mine for about £40 from m&ps a while ago.

Removal of steering damper from SV1000. Massive improvement, zero cost (assuming you already have a spanner.)
Checking your tyre pressures. Potentially massive improvement, zero cost (assuming you already have a pump and pressure gauge.)

Don't have a option for a sv1000  might sound daft but it the 650 fully faired the same as the 1000 fully faired? I wouldn't thought they would change the front bit at all? Just the lower?
