Yes but even Taz said he wanted it following the line of the bike. Still, it give the bike a rough edge... and it goes some

Yep.

Blue naked SV650 with shiney (not carbon) can and seat cowl would look , as would a black one with a carbon can.

But then, stock and almost all low level cans obscure the swingarm too...

There isn't enough room on an SV not cover part of it. Besides that is just a slip-on.

You can see the pipes running under the bike then up behind the engine and the reappearing above the swing-arm.

Were it not for the rear foot-rests, the swinger would be unobscured.

Jabba - truth be told, if you don't have a pillion, they're pretty useless, no? I hadn't thought about the possibility of a pegectomy - until now.
