I think suzuki call the colour thunder grey? but i did have a bit of an off and had it all sprayed again and the guy did an awesome job, he sprayed the sv logo on aswell so its smooth with the paint and doesnt protrude like stickers do.
The levers are jus some black ones i got from bandit mania, theyr only round the corner from where i work.
I have really gone a bit mad on it, then had the usual thought of changing it for something faster but i keep on getting more an more attached to it because iv made it my own, plus i love the feeling i get when i outbrake people coming down park straight at cadwell those brakes are amazing!!!
Oh an that mesh isnt there anymore, it was a bit of a rush job but what happened was the glue i used ended up melting because of the heat from the engine, if its done right though it can probably look really good

Whitehouse, I wana do the mesh to mine. I think that really makes it rather than the gaps in the fairings. I also have the SV650S with red SV and S and wana get the white stickers but like you said I don't want it to look like stickers.. Hmmm...

So are your brakes alot sharper/better than standard obv? Which are they?

The mesh wasnt that hard to do, my mate had some left over that hed bought from B+Q, i jus painted em with high temp matt black paint and used a glue gun but thats where i went wrong!! I should of used some araldite or something along those lines. Its just a case of forming the mesh to fit, a pointer though is to make sure you get the grain of the mesh the same each side (if its similar mesh to mine) otherwise they WILL look different.
Im not sure how you could do the stickers flush with the rest of the paint without respraying?
The brakes on it are the gsxr1000 k4 radial mount 4 pot tokico calipers, iv used hh ebc pads and its got hel braided hoses. Its just feels like theres so much more braking power there to use than standard, it doesnt help with the standard sv forks diving quite a bit under hard braking though. Im not the best rider but i feel a hell of a lot more confident on it now iv changed the front end

Fair Play!

I think I'm going to do the mesh and maybe change the stickers but just leave them slightly above paintwork (I know what I mean, lol)

But thinking about it I have a red seat so the red lettering goes quite well maybe ill get red rim tape. I think I just need to clean it properly first once the snow disappears then I will decide what to do.
