More to the point it prevents the nasty marks from the keyfob.

I personally like looks as well as performance upgrades.

Ok, so, engine...

Akrapovic Full system, (modded for O2 sensor)
Factory pro velocity stacks,
SV1000 Intake snorkel, (to be fitted).
K+N Airfilter, (to be fitted).
Tank-risers, (to be fitted if it doesn't look stupid)
Altered stock ECU.

I did have a PCIII but it kept bringing on the FI light due to the more "eco-friendly" later SV's, so now thats sitting under my toolbox at work.

Looks-wise...

Evotech tail-tidy, (from personal experience, the best available)
Smoked indicator lenses, with silver bulbs.
Suzuki Carbon yoke protector.
Suzuki seat cowl.
Black/Carbon bar end weights.
Suzuki belly pan, (professionally colour matched as Suzuki don't make one in Grey!).

Thats it, I don't really have an issue with the suspension, as I had a K7 GSXR before and came back to the SV for comfort. My SV is a naked, so not a "race-bike".
But I love it.

Or in many cases, covers up the nasty marks from the keyfob

Leo vince system is best I've brought. Wanted the best which is an m4 but had to wait too long. 72 minitwin legal ponies ecu mapped direct and a sweet as power curve. Pc's are just a waste of cash on the sv any dealer that says otherwise is yanking your chain or hasn't the tools to do otherwise. Bhp set on a dynapro. Was78 on a dynojet.

Oh and snow chains would be good too lol

M4 and the Leo are very close on BHP. You do have to use the big bore M4 though not the earlier one. Header size are critical as is can length.

Yes on the dyno pc. When its next used i will ask steve to print them.

We now use the leo vince as they are a mile easier to get hold of. We get a balance pipe added to them also which aids gas speed and gives a nice curve at the top.

The Arrow system isnt too bad either.

The micron suffers as its a narrow bore.

See I would expect the small bore of the micron to hurt top end, but when I had one it seemed to be fine at the top but weak on the bottom where you'd expect the high gas speed of a small bore setup to help.
