Buying K7 quick advice needed!! - SV650.org

KnightRider · 15-06-07, 06:57 PM

Am about to buy a new SV650 sport and want to heed the advice that everyone has given me and put some crash bungs on it. I am definately going to get regular R&G bungs for the bike but do I also want to spend an extra £50 to get some cotton reals and bar ends?

I would rather eire on the cautious side and pay the cash for extra security but dont know anyone with any experience using the cotton reals and bar ends so want to check with the experts (you) first!

Well, you get bar ends free with the bike... although they may not have the R&G logo on them, they're still bar ends.

As for the cotton reels, I assume you mean swingarm bobbins? They're worth having if they're the kind that allow you to use a paddock stand with hooks, as they make the stand experience that bit more secure.
