Raptor 2 fairing, gives decent wind protection, only £40.....£50 if you add running lights and LED bulbs. It's been good to me so far.

Handguards, heated grips, scottoiler all probably below that mark or thereabouts.
Beyond that you're getting into "get what you pay for" territory. Fixer peg in the toolkit worth it's weight in gold though.

On Pointy S fitting mirror spacers and/or GSF650 mirrors lets you actually see behind you instead of just an nice view of your elbows.

Re: Cheap upgrades, mods, changes to SVs or universal?
Seat re-padding cost me about £40.
Panniers from E-Bay cost £50 and are invaluable. Water proof plug socket in my fairing cost roughly £15. Paddock stand Bobbins and stand are also a great idea and with in that budget. I fitted a Tutoro chain oiler and love it. A throttle rest also helps loads and is less than a tenner. Nice brake and Clutch levers also help with a day long ride due to increased comfort. Basically I have turned my S model pointy into a V-Strom, but that cost a bit more than your £75!

An outfit in Surrey did a nice line in gel inserts.

Used performance exhaust.
one of the best things I ever did with my Street Triple R wa to get the suspension set-up for my weight, but as SV's are a little naff you can't really do that without swapping everything out, you maybe able to get a zx6 rear shock off ebay for less than £75. |
