When going over speed bumps I also hover. Infact I sometimes hover in corners, I find I get better feel that way.

I wasn`t that fond of Naked SV`s but yours has changed my mind , that`s deffo a looker . As far as speed bumps go , I always stand up on them and coast over the lot . My mate lofts the front end up over them and comes off them on one wheel .... but then again , he`s a pillock

i lift off if i forget to break hard enough so yes look like a utter muppet , have a look at the rear suspension though it may be wound up tightish if you find your standing at every bump.
the only headlight i think may work, is the £100 one i saw on ebay, as its made specifically for the suzuki, so, it will fit to standard brackets and fit well around the speedo

Nah, just use a rear paddock stand to lift the bike up. Slip some car axle stands under the footpegs and then lower it onto them using the the paddock stand - easy and and you don't have to worry about hanging anything

Nice looking bike nana, do you ever miss the grab rail though?
I'm tempted to remove my rail and put on a cowl on my yellow curvy - anyone know where I could find a picture of one with that done?
