Default Re: Well farewell to the SV, hello to the Gixer :)

Thanks guys, really wanted to make her look a little bit nicer than standard but not to go overboard with the changes, I dont need extra speed (its a missile anyway) so just a few cosmetic tweaks (will be changing the pillion hangers to get rid of the inbuilt stock exhaust hanger they decided to put on the the 2008+ models) but just enjoy riding it out and about now

Those mods are very nice, subtle but makes the bike stand out especially the case savers.

How much to powdercoat the rearsets/pilion pegs etc?

Yep subtlety but something different was the aim.

The powdercoating was £45 for all of it.

You can hack the cat off and use a K7 slip on with a mid pipe, TBH although I dont like the look of the cat I was not too bothered and could pick up a new R55 for £300 and being a DIY donut I knew I could probably cope with installing a slipon by myself so went that route.

It still sounds a lot nicer than the stock pipe but not silly loud to attract the wrong type of attention!!!!
