Not bad, ART can, Pyramid Belly Pan, braided hoses and rearsets. Just needs a fender extender and crash bungs by the looks.

His grass needs a cut and look at the state of the borders!

Okay... so this is it? http://holeshot.com/images/cache/350...r_extender.jpg

It extends the mud guard??? - any practical benfit of this, or is it purely aesthetics?

Re: New... just wanted to say Ello...
 

And how could you see the hoses in that piccy??!!!

It stops water ingress to the front spark plug, probably the most common problem the SV suffers from.

Well it's a crap pic, but the routing doesn't look like the standard hoses and the bars are cheap renthal knock offs.

Hi, welcome to the forum and good luck for your test next week. Congratulations on getting an SV, especially a Curvy!

1) No your not mad!!!

2) Curvy's are the best and any loud pipe will do!!!

3) Yes, the SV will teach you a lot and is relatively safe for newbies (not idiot proof though).

4) 27k miles is no problem for an SV or even a bike of that age, low mileage for age I think personally.

5) Move out of Bristol!!! I wouldn't bother with an immobiliser, bikes get picked up and thrown in to the back of a van here in the UK. An alarm would be better but to be honest how many people take any notice of alarms nowadays? A good chain wrapped through the swingarm and wheel to a solid fixed object is the best thing to do, not 100% secure but a thief may just look to a bike beside yours with no chain on for ease!

Fender Extender for a Curvy ('99-'02 model SV) which you can get from Pyramid Plastics....

And for Crash bungs it seems most would opt for Motosliders...

Oh, the ad says they are renthal bars... but maybe they are knock offs...

I will take your advice on the fender extender then! - thanks for the advice mate :-)... now... the important question... what colour to get the fender extender in!
