Default Gladius Mods

Removed the frame covers from my Gladius to see how it looked. So far I like it.

Nice . That's the first thing I'd do too.

It's too nice a frame to cover up.

I'd tend to agree, although I think it suits a less conventional can.

It would be Laser Xtreme GP or Ixil Hyperflo for me.

Why do they even put that stuff on. I'd have the radiator plastics off too.

I'd really like to upgrade to a new gladius. They look great when they're all sorted. New rearsets, bin the huge pillion ones, new can, tail tidy, gsxr forks, get rid of the screen.

GSXR600 K6-8 end cans would look ok.

All new suzuki's had the stupid curved exhausts

If that big screen you got with it fits an SV you might want to give Terah a pm if your selling it.

Are there any tail tidys out there for the Galidis? Might smarten the rear up a bit instead of that HUGE lump of plastic on end!

Fitted my new Danmoto slip-on today. Ordered direct from their website (£77 delivered) as it's a bit cheaper than their ebay listing. Only took 9 days from China, which is ok really.

Easy job, no drama, and a nice little growl too
