Anyone know where to get a stripe decal kit like that? I rather like the main stripe with the two smaller edging ones. least for a pointy.

Isn't a decal kit. Came like that standard from Suzuki.

I'm sure you could get a company to make some stripes for you though!

Yeah I noticed it was the new OEM fit but someone is bound to do a kit like that, might take a look at the bike show, looks sweet, mines pretty much the same just lacking the stripe hehe, looks very swish.

So can anyone tell me if there are any changes otehr than cosmetics? It does look nice but really I'd be happy if it looked like a pile of poo as long as it went better than the old one.

Purely cosmetic changes as far as I'm aware. Don't think there has been any mechanical changes.

Thanks

No idea what you mean. Nothing really wrong with the old/current SV but it's due for some mechanical updating in my opinion, I somehow doubt i'm on my own on that one.

Maybe some better suspension parts, some better brakes (they can raid the parts bin for the 4 piston calipers off old SRAD gsxr 600's?)

Mostly though, an overal increase in the quality of finish would be welcome. Thats a suzuki thing overall though, their bikes are crap for finish (although I understand they know this now...)
