A link would be very much appreciated.

These are the ones but these are UK based now I think and I bought a lot of little stuff off eBay at that time so mine might not have been from a Chinese vendor.I like the reflective strips on them as well

They don't look that bad to me and do keep the wind off the hands.They come with their own plastic bar-ends and better Allen screws than were on my SV650 X so I used the new screws but with the heavy bar-end weights that were already on the bike.I did have to fettle the clutch side little bracket they came with as the rounded end of the bracket stopped it fitting right to get the Clutch lever nut on but only took a min with my angle grinder/file.

That looks good! I like the SV sticker on the newer SVs cowl, wonder if they are available on eBay

Had one on my old one and sounds just like I remember, Sounds great and has a good rumble. My missus has complimented/complained how it is better than her alarm clock.

That is my only issue with my 1999 Curvy.It's too quiet.Ain't got the spare dosh at the moment to change it and also I would most likely have to pay the,"£35" extra to ,"Bennets" on top of the mod to get a better noise.
However in saying that when I do whack the throttle I can hear the,"Little Demon" in there
