I'm liking that. I know what Mav is saying, it does remind me of Tam's cafe racer, and that is no bad thing, both of them are great looking bikes.

Good job there!!!

Are you thinking of adding a belly pan?

Not sure if it's improve it or not.

I thought about a belly pan once but i've never come across one that looks good on the sv (personal opinion), they all seem too pointy near the wheel.

I'm half considering making something like this...



Il mock something up in cardboard first see how it'll look.

That's more of a bash plate than a belly pan.

Only reason I think belly pans look good on the SV is it hides the ugly exhaust. Just my opinion though.

I see what you're saying, the exhaust doesn't look great but i still think it looks better that a belly pan!

I prefer the look of a bash plate. Id make it more for aesthetics than function, to hide the exhaust and cover the gap between the exhaust and engine. Try to achieve a better shape to the front of the engine.

A kind of bash plate/belly pan hybrid i guess!!
