Motosliders are good, but you have to buy them from USA.

Indeed I do.

They are fitted by attatching a single bolt through the hole the grab rail would screw into.

Mad out of some chunky plastic stuff

For the Curvy owners

Stainless plates to replace the crappy mild steel ones on the rear spindle. I had some made up and they do improve the look. They'd used as a washer behind the nut & bolt. Only a rectangular plate with a hole drilled in it. Have a look on 'My Sv' pics in my album

Stainless spacers for the front & rear wheel

How about a sexy top yoke like Dizzy Blonde has on her Yellow SV. We know you do the comfort kits, but how about a minimalist top yoke, machined out and polished?

Something to cover up the holes in the frame where the swingarm spindle goes through.

Stainless front bolt for the rear brake torque arm, it not just a plain bolt, although I don't know the technical name for the type of bolt it is.

For the pointy owners - A tarpaulin to cover their bikes up

I'm after a couple of spacers for fitting race fairings to an SV frame. Basically I tap a hole (say m6 or m8 ) in the frame and need a little cylinder, ideally with a threaded bolt at one end and a hole through the other I can get a split pin through. I can send you a diagram if you'd need it. I know it's not exactly a volume produced part but I'll definately have half a dozen off you...

GPS/mobile phone mounts that can be secured to one of the clip-on bolts. There's no room for normal handlebar attachments with clip-ons!

I bought one ages ago with a ball end for an old Garmin i3 GPS. It was great, and when it was stolen I just unbolted the ball end and bolted on part of another mobile phone holder kit. This is fairly rubbish, but that's down to the design of the mobile phone holder. The important bit is the short articulated arm that fits on the clip-on bolt.

You can seem to buy these mounts anymore. I can take a pic if it sounds remotely interesting.

Those ball things can be used for cameras and stuff too.

Also interesting from a manufacturing point of view as could be universal rather than SV specific.
