If you bought a new SV, what would you add to it first? - Page 4 - SV650.org

Maybe a dodgem car cushion would make more sense

Or a load of used tyres tied to the sides.

Bigger back sprocket or smaller front, I like the extra go you get out of corners...

As I'm from north of the border I think crash bungs would you nicely too

I would go for the lowers.

Loads of sensible riders #i guess . . . . or just hooligans!

Now I've had it for a while I'd be tempted to change my mind and say go for a tail tidy first, as fitting mine made such a difference to the look, but since I dropped mine once and got no damage and my mate slid his along the road with nearly no damage, I have to say the best money spent was R & G bungs!

Both bikes look totally undamaged, except for scratches on the bungs!

Oh, one more item I would definitely spen my money on, is the mirror extenders . . probably the best money I spent on my SV!

Couldn't agree more young sir

I bow to the wiser contributors to the forum and maybe bungs would have been the best call. I though have no reservation over admitting that a CCC end can was my first! (Once a hooligan and all that!)
I think unless you are very unlucky the other bits and bobs can be added once your learning period has been completed on the bike.Like get used to how it handles and then get extra grin factor later by adding better rubber.

END CAN that reads 'NOT FOR ROAD USE' .........surely its the reason to own a V-Twin!

Ooh, this one's going again

I'd say nothing performance oriented, even springs or shock, now that I've done most of the basic mods... Fenda Extenda, crash bungs, can and undertray first. Otherwise you'll never know the benefit of the performance mods.
