The shot dosn't show up the paint starting to bubble on the forks, around the mudgaurd mounting lug. I'll have to strip them down in the summer and repaint them before next winter, else I'll be sporting something hideous :smt119

Dizzy, you're right...I commute and do everything else on that bike :D handgaurds beat handlebar muffs hands down in terms of stability, although they are a biiit chillier than the muffs. I don't have to defend my topbox :smt055

When i get my next bike (at the moment I want an FZ1s), the SV will be returned to its original intention...a easy-to-ride pseudo-sports bike. That means....bye bye topbox :rabbit: hellloooo GSXR front end :bigsmurf: and oh, a rear shock that has damping :smt012 :D

Sometime next year...lets hope its ready for AR10 :bounce:

Why not just buy a sports bike?

Because I like the SV, I don't want to get rid of it and I want to find out what I can do with it. I'd much rather invest in a good, well made, reliable, bigger-engined bike for the daily commute / two-up riding / long tours, and keep the SV as my sunday toy :D I have fun riding the SV hard, because riding it hard is like riding a GSXR moderatly. And my lisence appreciates that :D

SP1 / SP2's still try and tempt me though. No! I won't do it!
