Anodised stuff - SV650.org

Is there a good place/web site to get bar ends, brake and clutch levers and some preload adjusters from? I'm looking to get some cheap and nasty anodised stuff. Ta

It'll all end in tears, mark my words.

That said if you're determined:

Most of the anodised levers are rubbish. Very thin anodising so they scrape easily, and the alloy's very low quality so they snap where OEM wouldn't even bend, sometimes. I once saw one on a Bandit snap off when someone walked into the bike.

Pazzo do good ones for the SV though, at a mere 8 times as much as the cheapo ones

Probolts' engine kit's OK, especially if you have a black engine... But the bolts are very weak for the application, you'd want to own an extractor.
