That's a looker and no mistake

What's that shock protector thing bolted to the swingarm that you can see in the exhaust pic? I don't have a hugger (yet) but I'm thinking that's a good idea that you have. Is it home made?

It's a stock part. Just a little flap that bolts to the swingarm. You should have one on as standard.

Colour isn't to my taste (I'm not keen on yellow and bought black) but looks good!

IMO if you're going to paint the underseat panels you should also paint the black bit in between the seat sides.

Although I always thought they should have colour matched it anyway!

The previous owner of my SV had a hugger. My flap is missing (!)


Now I'm on a mission to make my own.

I've got a spare (I've got two) if you're after one.

There's bound to be someone here who's got one or check with one of the many breakers round.
