I really like the way it's looking though judging by that seat, you're not planning on staying on it for long periods of time.

I wasn't sure at first as it looked a little too white, but what you've added there with the black and carbon really breaks it up and adds focus to the lines of the bike. Very well done.

Looks much better now you've broken up the white on the headlight, very nice indeed.

That looks very very nice. Well done sir!

Looks cracking indeed!

Only thing that I'd comment on is the tail angle. Looks a little low, have you thought about angling it up a bit?
(I don't mean daft streetfighter angle, but a bit more to improve the overall stance of the bike)

Does look great but if the tail unit was level with the top of the tank or slightly higher it would please my eye, it'd almost be faptastic...

You're not the first to raise this, but as most of the pics are from the front on the side stand, it does make it look lower than it is. Just took this pic with the bike stood upright and from the side. I went for the same pillion height as the standard SV tail. I could have raised it a little, but decided against it as if i want to sharpen up the handling with a jack up kit, it wouldn't then be rediculously high.
