Default Re: New to SVs.

By the looks of it its not a Renegade system, renegade tended to use a larger diameter pipe on the link pipes and from what i can see in the picture they look smaller. The cans themselves dont look renegade earlier, slightly darker in material colour.

I may be wrong in saying this but i have the renegade twin can system and something stuck me as being different about these.

Very nice looking bike tho mate, even if its not actually ohlins they really suit the bike.

Tried looking up FabriTech and all i can seem to find is Kitchen Manufacturers, so unless they took a venture into exhausts.....I'd assume they're an american brand, possibly gone bust??

The yoke is a GSXR one to match the forks, looks like the Thou.

Gotta say mate, the bike looks gnarly as hell, if only the SV had the power to match that suspension....

Never heard of those, they could just be the cans. It's the pipework that matters.
Does it pass an MOT with no steering lock stops?

front forks are defo gsxr1000 k1-2 exactly the same as mine.

but they look totally brand new so either old shelf stock or refurbished..

funny thing is my forks came with ohlins stickers on them and i suspect the springs have been changed.

BTW, very nice curvy....

I suspect it's somebody with a sense of humour as Fast by Ferracci make exhausts and other stuff for Itallian bikes

Not everything is about performance Chris. Most stubbys knock performance a bit. Sometimes it's just about looking good.

I found 2 fabritechs.....1st one is in Leeds and they are metal fabricators.Can't see them doing exhausts though. The other makes decals for bikes i guess it's just stickers on it. I need to take the exhausts off and try to find some markings.

Next step i think will be dumping the SV front wheel and calipers and getting gsxr replacements. Fancy this wheel though...Totally bling but what the hell
