Now with two thirds of the luggage fitted ready for touring (base plate is wrong for the top-box.)

Although, need to move my number plate as one of the suppose struts is designed for use with the original "snow-plow"

Heres mine as it was on Friday Night



Then after some time with the rattle can and a scalpel.



A scalpel you ask? Well I used to have some black stickers on the front of the SV, I quite liked them, so decided to re-instate them, thinking the gloss black on satin black would be good. I took inspiration from TRON Legacy.



The cool thing about the vinyl I used is that it is reflective - same pic but with the flash on.



I do have a tank done in the satin, but the more I look at it, I think I will leave the red tank on - Just need to TRON-ify it

Its not chav if it is an aid to safety

Anything that makes the front of my bike light up like a christmas tree from the headlights of an oncoming car is good in my book.

I even removed the undertail LED's that were on it pre-respray (which were also non-chav as they were wired off the brake-light and had high and low intensity just like the brake light, so were a safety feature)

So there

Besides I am from north of the border - we dont have Chav's where I come from, so I can't be one.

Halfords own Satin Black - takes 2 cans to cover an SV with one coat.

Used 2 cans of Grey Primer too, single coat as this is supposed to be just an opportunity to get all the panels I took off resprayed properly - ie have time and cash spent on them.

Cost was about £28 then whatever some 800grit wet and dry was.

No laquer, so will see how it goes after the first rain/petrol spillage when filling.

Its a near perfect match for the clock surround plastics, and the frame.
