Default Advice needed...

Hi Guys - Noob Alert!!

Can anyone advise me what I will need to get for my bike to sort out the back end?? I've got a 99svs curvy and its got the horrible original mudguard that I would like to remove and get it looking a bit tidier. My question is.. what will I need to get to sort this out (tail tidy only or is more needed etc)?

Hope you can help me.

Phil

you'll probably need to get an undertray pretty easy to fit

i used a pyramid plastics undertray, motrax r-send, some LED indys


tidied up the rear nicely

A quick cheap way to tidy things up is to do what i did on my curvy. I got a slightly smaller number plate and mounted it up as high as it would go, ( i think i removed the reflector) i then cut away all the black plastic that was showing beneath the number plate and i changed the indicators for mini ones.

Not as good as an undertray but does the job, You could barely see any of the monsterous black plastic and it wasn't much hassle.

If you can find one. Get a TCP Products Undertray its the offical Suzuki undertray for the curvey SV.

I'm not sure if they still make them though. I've got one on my curvey that I bought off this site.

What you get up to in Soho is your business but best keep it off the forum.
