oooh, just wait for the safety Nazis to comment on you riding in jeans.

Oh and I think that if you like it, then you should go for it, it's all personal taste.

They look like could be armoured jeans to me!

Pesonally I think it looks awful. If you're going to go down a streetfighter route, that's fine. That just looks bodged.

Shouldn't your road tax disk be in front of the footpeg?

I think re-using the small fairing is a good idea, especially if you are doing motorway speeds. Like the belly pan, where did you get that from and how much are they?

That's actually not that bad.

The bit that always ruins the line of a naked SV (for me) is that damn front downpipe... but on this, following the line between the two cowls it just doesn't seem so 'protruding'.

Yeah. I like it in black.

I'll have you know, madam, that I love my pipe particularly as it's nice and shiny.




However I'm prepared to admit that this is maybe a little sad .

I have to admit that I am with K there... its not how shiney it is, it just looks a bit lame... The first SV I looked at was naked but had a cage thing around it, wish I had taken a picture of it as I have not heard of one like it since...
