Default new guy

hi guys and girls

thought id introduce myself.

just got my first bike yesterday a 53reg sv 650 sk3 in silver fully standard.


the first thing im going to do is ditch the can and get a nice stubby one but was wondering it you can have one high level behind the pillon foot rest as i love the high level look but dont want to lose the pillion hanger

any ideas?

cheers

barry

Hello

We love our stubby, although we have a curvy SV, not the pointy.

One problem with high level.................and why we don't have one..............is that they can be a bit hot for a pillion

Welcome... watch out for the resident deviants...

I've got a high level stubby (ish) one, MissY_C doesn't have a problem with it.

You simply have to space out the pillion peg hangar slightly.

Hey welcome to the forum and great choice on bike of course

Yer as Chris says you just need to space one of the hangers out, I had a high level fuel on mine and for pillions I had no complaints well about the exhaust anyway, just space it and you'll be fine.
