Looks very similar to my old one maviczap, I'd guess it was made by pyramid plastics or some other popular company. Mine wedged behind existing plastics and the luggage hoops and was secured via two screws to the rear light area. Looked neat.

Ta guys, its not perfect and since I had the paint job done it shows up all the other imperfections

The swing arm has been powder coated a chrome silver which looks very nice, but is very soft for powder coat. So I will polish up the spare swing arm I have sometime this winter. GSXR front end first

Ta maestro,

I had a spare Sv sidestand that had beeb polished, but I reckon it'll be a bugger to get real good. Mine was done in the same powder coat, which looks ace, but as I said it's very soft and easily damaged.

I've got a spare which I'm going to get chromed for extra bling

I'm going to get the wheels done this winter, either gloss black or a silver
