Anodised Bits and pieces?
Does anyone know where I can get a blue anodised set of brake/clutch levers that aren't too expensive?
Also a lightish blue DB screen for my K3 SV650S? |

Some nice stuff there which will be purchased, but no levers?

Re: Anodised Bits and pieces?
Careful with the levers, a lot of the anodised ones like you see on Banditmania are basically ****- very poor quality ally. I had one snap from a very slight impact and thought that was poor, till I saw someone walk into a bike and snap off its front brake lever at the Green Welly... They really can be that brittle. i heard a VD member once who'd had one snap in use, don't know if that's true but I wouldn't be too amazed. Even when they're not snapping in half they're poorly toleranced, usually, and the anodising is very thin and marks easily.
Pazzo do a lever set for the SV now. No, they're not remotely cheap, £130 the pair, but they're beautifully made, strong like ox, and will help avoid allegations of cheap chavviness. Pers'nally I'd be inclined to say stick with OEM or get high quality aftermarket, stay away from the tat.

Re: Anodised Bits and pieces?
Is that your bike in your Avatar ?
If so IMHO you dont want to put blue bits on a Silver bike, its going to look terrible. As Northwind says stay away from tat...

Re: Anodised Bits and pieces?
I'm just a bit bored of the way it looks and now that I have decided to give myself the full year on the SV before attempting to get about on a GSXR600.
I thought I would make it look different with slight accents of blue, if that's not a great idea then any ideas are greatly accepted...... |

Re: Anodised Bits and pieces?
Keep it standard if you are moving on to another bike...it'll end up being a waste of money otherwise.
