Hi - any suggestions?

Get yourself a big stick. Every time you think about modifying your bike, hit yourself with the big stick. Less painfulin the long run

Crash bungs are a must i reckon its well worth getting rid of the snow shovel on the back and replacing it with an aftermarket number plate holder.

Changing the can is worthwhile when u have the money.

IMO coloured bolts/chains/screens/headlights etc look aweful but then again that just me.

fender extender (maybe) to stop water getting in the front spark plug, this problem dosen't affect all bike though.

Get yourself these really kool neon lights that go under the belly of the bike!!! Some blue LEDs also do the trick. It's well wikid innit!!!

I'll get me coat

IMO any SV has to have an aftermarket can to release that glorious V-Twin sound. Keep it simple and subtle. You can get loads of ideas from various bike pic sites, some good, some bad and some are just terrible I personally hate if the bike is all stickered up unless it's a race replica with a decent paintjob.

Sensible man!!

cheers folks - thanks for the advice

ah cr@p braided brake lines, can, fender eliminator is a must then i would think about new rubber and brake pads job done unless you want suspension front + rear and high compression pistons with cams, filter and have your ecm mapped to round it off
whats wrong with chaving it up i think that there is too many similar bikes on the market now days
its good to see some personality/individuality and creativity put into these bikes and then you can stand up and look at the beauty of it when its lying under a transit van



best advice get some advanced driving lessons and a timmy MALLET for all the idiot drivers/pedestrians out there

What is wrong with you lot!!!!??? If you modify your bike,it don't mean your a "Chav". What it does mean is that you dare to be different! Anyone can buy a STANDARD bike,Yes,alot of money went into that design etc,but there is nothing wrong with personalising/tuning. You'll be wearing Anoraks next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fenda extender, can, go mad

I've got nothing against neons on bikes or cars as long as it's not on mine. I've never been keen on making my ride look like a christmass tree, but everyone has different tastes hence the choice of various mods out there.

The fact that these styling ideas are assosiated with chav culture is no secret, so what's wrong with having a giggle at their expence?

It'll all end in tears, mark my words.

Just because a bike is modded,IT DOES NOT mean it is "chavvy junk". Blimey,first people were being critisised for "slagging off" the Bandit,from their own opinions/experiences,now we(as modders,as in modify,) are being "slagged off" for modding our bikes. Not everyone wants to be the same as the next person!
Some people want to be different/subtle/in yer face etc. and that is their perogative! Not for you to slag off modified bikes!!
I've said it before,I'll say it again: EACH TO THEIR OWN!
