Default My Pointy :smt066

Hi Guys,

I have been lurking on here for a while back when i was working on getting my Bike licence. I tried out a few bikes for my first bike and fell in love with the SV. So naturally i found this site

Anyway here's my bike






I have done a few things to the bike :-

R&G Tail tidy
Beowulf Warrior exhaust in satin black
Bi Xenon headlight convertion (Thanks again bluepete for sorting me out the dicount)

I know it would look better with the seat cowl on but i scratched it up when it came off the bike.

Things still to do :-

Rear Hugger
Black screen
indicators
Fix rear seat cowl

I use the bike for my commute into London every week. Just passed 11k since June. Arrive at work with a smile on my face always

Cheers,

Cookie

Which bulb combination did you choose?

Was it the twin headlight pro plus HID xenon conversion kit advertised at £91.95 + VAT on there? (any advantage of the slim kit thats an extra £20?)

And how much discount did you get? Is this something you were lucky with or do forum members get a discount there?

Thanks!
