Opinions please ...
 
OK, I've been thinking about what to do with the rear end of my bike. I'd ike something a bit different, don't need to worry about a pillion. I've looked at the race tail sections for the SV, and to be honest they just look like they are a model taken from the stock one with the seat cowl on. (Well the ones I've seen anyway)

Then today I was speaking to Steve Jordan's Suzuki and the guy (I forget names so quickly :oops: ) Mentioned they have K5 Gixxer Thou bodywork on their race bikes .... hmmmm

Anyway, after some quick photoshopping, which I didn't finish because it highlights the problems with the subframes etc., here is what it (kinda would look like)

What do you think..... waste of time, or worth looking into some more ....

They do have pics of their race bikes on the Steve Jordan website, but the colours just hide the details (And then I chose the black one to edit, me clever!!)

Do it, looks like it'll work well.

Looks very nice, though a little bit of a high rear end

Any way it could be lower down a bit? :?

Looks pretty darn good 8)

Just get rid of the snow shovel at it'll be even better :lol: I'd go for it but i need a pillion seat thicker than 5mm :lol: :lol:

It's one of the mods I'll be doing to my SV over the next year or so.

Looks nice.

I reckon it'd look really good with a high-level exhaust too...

Pix not great but I like the idea :lol:

Hmm... I like it, but it looks a bit odd in some ways. It's positioned right for the lines of the top of the tail, but that makes the other line that comes from the indicators look a bit quint. It could need a fair amount of subframe work to make it work, but it'd not be the first time. I've got something similiar-but-different on the back burner, but whether I'll ever do it I don't know.

I like it very much,if it were me and funds would allow I would get both wheels and the frame gold / bronze anodised or some other method. That would then be a brilliant job well done! 8)
