Change for changes sake (and the worse). I don't like either, but that first one wins the coveted 'even uglier frontend than a varadero'. It looks like a photoshop, but still...

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that, but if you mean that you would like to see what I think is cool then here ya go!






I'm thinking about getting this light (or the cyclops, haven't decided yet), but taking off the number plate and mounting the light a bit higher up.


and this: http://www.sv1000.zyns.com/forums/at...chmentid=18328
(That's the kind of light that I got, but changed my mind about.)

I've seen some excellent shots of a jaggy naked SV with the newer GSXR headlight, it actually looks fantastic... These I'm not so keen on. The second one I think would be way nicer without the screen, and both seem very nicely executed for what they are, but they don't flip my switches.

Has anyone else seen Donnie J from SVRider's bike? He posted it here ages ago but I've not seen much from him since:





The seat is, ahem, a matter of taste but that's the only bike I've seen with an aftermarket front lamp/screen/whatever that I really like.

The big difference with Donnies is that he did it to a wrecked bike, rather than taking a nice bike and fuglifying it

It's like "How do you make a streetfighter?" "First, crash a sportsbike"

Hey,

You have a point there. I didn't realize he had crashed it first. I guess that picture explains it alittle huh?

Well, I believe he hired out the actual crashing to a specialist...
