It seems to me quiet a few on here have a Gladius apart from me.
So come on then who are you AND have you done any mods yet. I'll start. Removed GladAss stickers. I have painted the grab handles, rear brake carrier, rear cush drive, Sprocket and a few fasters Saturn Black. Chewys- Stuff Tax disc holder. Replaced the chain guard screws with S/S screws i had left from my SV1000. R&G Bobbins. Nicked of my Z750J6. Cut the Silver side panels and resprayed what's left. Relocated side stand cut out cables behind the frame. Made a radiator grill cos a refuse to pay £50 for a Evo- Tech one. Motografix tank pad. To Do. I will I suppose get the Evo-Tech tail tidy when I've got some money. End can. Propley a GPR one. Either powder coat the footrests or try to and retro fit some from a SV650 curvy cos they will fit. Crash mushrums. Renthals. Aprilla black mirrows. Here's a old pic. Last edited by madjohn; 02-06-09 at 04:01 PM. |

See I think that's a nice-ish looking machine! (Overall, without the snowplough and silly stickers etc)

How the hell is a tail tidy going to be made for that i wander, the ,mould goes right around the light unit. Be interesting to see if they make one, or an undertray for that matter.

I wonder, what made you go from an SV1000 to a gladius?
Anyway, I am intersted in a few things wtih the new gladius, so I wonder if you owners would keep a bit of a record... Fuel consumption - best / worst (if you can, quote miles for given litres of petrol used) Build quality - typically things like paintwork, axle bolt / nuts, downpipe etc all give away the build quality Reliability - if something goes wrong, document it ![]() |

Sold my SV1000 because it was costing to much to run. Biggest mistake ever. The price of petrol dropped shortly afterwords. I got myself a Z750J6, Didn't like it, Fancied another v-twin and saw the Gladie. I like challange. ![]() More upto date photo. Last edited by madjohn; 03-06-09 at 03:49 PM. |
