Not sure I like the high-level pipes but that's just personal opinion. The undertray indis are illegal and really hard to see - just watch yourself.
Other than that - enjoy! A lot! |

Re: Bought an SV today :D
Bike's quite nice but i'm not sure about the exhaust being so high. When you get that belly pan i bet it'll look a million miles better
Oh and the indicators: Reasons for rejection of direction indicators: 1. A direction indicator a. missing or obscured. b. does not show a light of the appropriate colour c. not working or not flashing at 60 to 120 flashes per minute, or which is affected by the operation of another lamp. 2. A "tell tale" does not function or operate correctly. Note: if the indicators can be seen from the riding position there is no need for a "tell tail" to operate. 3. An indicator lamp a. so damaged or deteriorated that its function is impaired. b. insecure 4. A defective or insecure switch or one which does not operate the direction indicators on the side of the machine selected. Hope i got that right. O.O |

Nice bike there.
If I were you I'd buy the restrictorr thing.. it's just an ECU box as you know, and simply fit the standard ECU when you're back at home, it's just a matter of switching boxes! If you're taking the missus on the back you'll probably appreciate the extra grunt. I like the high level with that colour, but unsure about any others. |

Nice bike.
However, as others have said, those indicators... Imagine the first photo, taken from slightly further back from the bike. The indicator still wouldn't be seen when it flashes (it's blocked by the high level can). This would mean cars behind & right of the bike wouldn't have a clue what your intentions were. I also had this problem due to my high level scorpion can. The solution I opted for, was to put some orange LEDs on the rear subframe, the right side one is just behind the rear brake reservoir. This puts them just behind my legs as I'm riding, and they're easily seen. Also, as they're LEDs, they don't mess with the indicator timing. |
