The gauges are the stock naked SV ones but I've had to make custom bowls for them as the stock ones are too big and don't fit. The Buell braket was also modified to fit the SV frame mounts. I've had to take the Buell magnesium alloy mounting bracket to an engineer to extend the mounting part and then drilled new holes to match the frame. Make sure that you use welding material for magnesium otherwise you'll ruin the mounting bracket.
The lighting from the projector units is quite ok. Nothing in GSXR territory though. If you want real good lighting look into HID conversions. I use this bike for Sunday blasts mostly, during the day, so gave lighting second preference to looks and some wind protection.

I really like it, really tempted if I can get hold of one. Do you have to swap to clipons to do the conversion and what do you need to do to the yokes?
Kudos man
