Correctomundo - my SV1000 has them mounted the same as Curiums (although mine do actually match the frame colour )

I requested R&G protectors for two new K6 SV650S from our dealer, both were fitted in the more "horizontal" position, both came in black to match the frames, supplied and fitted for £75 each but I did not get the orginal bolts back (may have to enquire about that).

Perhaps if you were to get ALL the facts and speak to the people as involved you might get a full appreciation for what is happening before opening your mouth and making your self look a fool. Also it isn't good to tarnish a brand on the internet. You are the first to moan whenever there are reports of SJM buggering something up arnt you?!?

I have nothing but praise for RnG, customer service is top of their list, sorted me out with a new bolt and water bottle when i had probs with my ones that i fitted to my zx9, no questions asked and delivery was v quick.
