Nothing as easy as a easy as the pointys tail tidy you have a few options

1, cut down what you've got
2, Fit an after market undertray like a pyramid one and a maybe a motrax rsend
3, do the same as wideboy has done

You can get a bolt on one which requires no cutting from TCP, they made the official Suzuki ones!



Or I believe ROCA make one, check out the bandit mania website.

I'm in the same position... I like the idea of temporarily cutting the stock down for the mean time until i have enough to get a pyramid. I've seen one SV on here that literally just has the stcok number plate light got the indicators comeing out of there it looks really smart.

Hovis you got a pic of your " carried away" job lol?
