Default More Stainless?

We've just bought off of this guy on Ebay, the adjuster plates in stainless. 9 quid posted without the bolts.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Suzuki-SV650-r...sid=p1638.m144

We contacted him and he's already got in the pipeline, bar ends, which if priced as his other ones are under 20 notes.

He asked us if there was anything else we could suggest to be stainless.

I thought the front wheel spacer, rear wheel caliper side spacer, pins for the calipers. Any more ideas?

Good, but how about st/st bits for K5?

Also... the brackets for lower fairings?

Are they easy to make do you reckon RR?

I would guess on a pointy everybody would like better rear adjuster plates too. With more overlip so they don't turn round and score the swingarm.

You mean the lowers brackets?
From memory.. they are like a squared off 'U' perhaps 40 or 50mm wide, with a hole in each leg of the 'U'. Pretty sure they're not handed.
Not sure if there's a threaded insert in one leg?
Standard ones are steel, plated with the usual rubbish!

Probably better if replaced with a bobbin type thing with the right threads at each end.



Would also go for st/st adjusters, but from here at work can't remember what they look like!

Chain adjuster plates for K3 onwards models? They get grotty very quickly and it had crossed my mind to make some out of some 20swg stainless sheet I have kicking around.

It seems the guy has a curvy, which is why he's only doing curvy bits at the moment. He told me he's going to start taking bits off his bike and get busy. Fingers crossed for the caliper pins

You'll have to go into production, Lozzo...............I'm sure loads of pointy owners would prefer a better plate.

But NOT tomorrow.............you're supposed to be resting!
