Re: My White and Red SV nearly finished

me likey the red and white, differnt screen though?

Re: My White and Red SV nearly finished

Thanks for all the replies everyone!!
Much appreciated!

Ok gonna try and answer all the questions.. if i forget one shout at me :)

Its a 650

The pipes are a twin under saddle system that came off a K4. As we all know the k3 is higher at the back than all the others for some reason. I chanced it as i LOVED the pipes. How different could it be...... famous last words

There is just barely enough room for everything to clear... i mean BARELY!! There was a whole chrome thing at the back that goes with the pipes but i took all that off when i was getting it sprayed. I wanted a back end that was completely clean and bare. So all thats there now is the twin pipes a really small reg plate and a wide open space :) ... plus the swing arm bounces up :)

There was a long battle with the exhausts... first thought was go BIG ******* CHROME NASTY NOISY THINGS
But the more i looked at the back the more i thought big cans wont work. Its a real small pointy ****. Big cans would ruin all that.
I am thinking of cutting the pipes and bringing them up like a duke or blade where the cans will exit right beside each other right in the middle of the back.... dunno yet.

The lowers are different alright.
It took me a while to find something that fitted right and looked well and were different.
Came across these. They seem to work i think. Im still in the do I like them or not stage but i like the way it hides the single pipe at the front which i never liked and still leaves some engine and frame exposed.
Right now i like them... tomorrow will be different lol.

As for the screen... exactly what I was saying man. I need something different. dont know what yet but definitely needs to be changed!

Thanks again for all the cool comments. As soon as the sun comes out again i'll get some proper pics of it with the pearl paint shimmering :) droooooools

oh one more thing... what did you mean by very patriot dude??

Re: My White and Red SV nearly finished

Looks good :-) Not sure about a white seat though, surely it'll just end up looking permanently grubby.

Re: My White and Red SV nearly finished

Its all a big thinking process lol.
But white seat may be bad.... red with white sv660 maybe

Re: My White and Red SV nearly finished

Really is a unique piece! Would be interested in seeing what a seat cowl would look like!

Re: My White and Red SV nearly finished

Gonna order the cowl as soon as I get paid. Its crying out for a cowl!!

I think she mistook you for being English. Looks like an England flag and you were being patriotic.
