Forget the SV, get that little pink thing behind it!

It’s definitely a K3 rear sub-frame and side panels. K4 + side panels are a different shape to line up with the lower sub frame. K3 with SUZUKI on tank was available as a UK model in BLACK, but not SK3 so front bodywork is SK4 +..

SACK IT.

This is my K3...has all original warning stickers etc...and deffo not a crash victim...got it checked out by suzuki dealer...Very strange as I was wondering why I couldnt get a black seat cowl from suzuki for a '03....

Re: Original or not?

(it may have been regestered as a k3)

Re: Original or not?
 

Thanks Hovis you just made my day :cheers:

Re: Original or not?
 

The pic of a black K3 in RoI sheds a different light on it.

The Republic of Ireland may well have got different colours to the UK. We may not have got black K3s, but they might have.

The bike in the OP has a K3 subframe but it does have the K4 logo on the tank....

...which ever model it is it has been altered at some point in its life.

K4 logo on the tank with a K3 subframe, this difference in the models shows this bike is not the same as it was when it left the factory. Colour means nothing, there are bikes late registered in the UK.

K4's had toolkit boxes in between rear wheel and shock, whereas my k3's toolkit just rattles around under the pillion seat. Also as has been said the side panels over the seat bolts are different the crease line runs completely different direction k3 to k4 on and offside one has a little cutout for the rear brake fluid reservoir.

Grab rails probably just been polished - they are painted, get scratched so stripping the paint and polishing them up is easy enough.
