Crash protectors
http://www.chewys-stuff.co.uk/
Fairing set - SOLD AS A PAIR
SV650S K3 > K7
£11.50 + P&P

Chewy does good stuff, but I would chuck more money at it and go R&G's, they have saved my bike about half a dozen times. That said Chewies may be every bit as good or better but I cant personally recommend them as I havent used them.

Exhaust hanger
http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products?...hlModel=002427
Harris Exhaust Hanger Bracket
Suzuki SV650 S (2003)
38.00 GBP

Hmm seems like a "bling" item - nothing wrong with that but would put it at the bottom of the list personally.

Airblade Double bubble light smoke screen
http://www.intobikes.co.uk/products?...=ASC&sf=&rt=60
Suzuki SV650 S (2003)
45.00 GBP

Double bubble is always good, but depending on the colour of your bike you may be better off with darker, or even a different colour - I ended up changing my light smoke for a black.

Hyperpro Progressive Fork Springs - Suzuki SV 650 03-06
http://www.motorcycle-road-and-race....ucts_id=403161
£97.00 (inc. VAT & UK Del)

Fully recommend these - put them in weekend before last, now done about 800 miles on them and really like them - should be cheaper than that tho, try your local Hein Gericke, who are a Hyperpro distributer, thats what I did (well if you count Northampton as local to London - well was an excuse for a little ride and to go see Paws :P) It should be about £10 to £15 cheaper and will come with 15W oil in the kit.

Tail tidy
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUZUKI-SV650-S...QQcmdZViewItem
For a Suzuki SV650S K3
Standard indicator fitting (not mini)
0800 634 2801
£44.99 + £5.95

Tail tidy IS good but you lose good bungee hooking points and mud WILL find its way on the underside of your grab rail !!! I went with the Hamicad one on recommendation.

Clear indicator covers and orange bulbs (if I can find them on the net)

Got some new OEM fairings off Ebay today for 200 quid so happy with that, I should have only been looking tbh. ;)

Extras already on fitted:

Rear seat cowl
Mirror extendors
front mud gaurd extender
stainless steal engnie bolt kit
Braided hoses
Rear Hugger

Do I need new seals if I get the fork kit, come to think of it do I need any other parts if I get the fork kit?

Any other suggestions welcome to add to the birthday list or if you know of a better product than listed above let me know especially if it's cheaper.

Many Thanks

:)

Main reason I have a Exhaust hanger on the list is that I believe that it's an MOT failure to have a seat cowl and to have the rear pegs still on? Well that's what I was told on my last MOT anyway. Anyone heard of that before?
