I also picked up a 30 quid cheap chinese special muffler from ebay (i added the akrapovic sticker... i know, but i dont care!), which i adapted to fit the sv at the location/angle i wanted. Actually really happy with it. I think it looks cool and with the baffle in its a touch quieter than my old muffler, which is what i wanted. Sounds pretty cool too.

Thanks to the new muffler combined with the long overdue service, the sv is now running sweet


i just got a black painted version of the same. they dont fit on standard link pipes e.g. Beowulf etc.etc was going to clamp it all up then weld it down the workshop but now i'm going to have to take the bike down to do it.

must admit they are good quality for the money

The only problem with those mufflers is the bands and rivets aren't stainless so they do start to rust after a while, but apart from that for £30 you could do a lot worse.
