MCN help required.

[admin]

Just had this from James Keen of MCN.

Hi John,

We have an idea for a series of articles on the MCN website and it made me think of your sv650 forum, so I wondered if you would be interested in getting involved. What we'd like to do is articles that list the top 10/15 accessories for various major models of bikes... so one of the first ones, if you're interested, would be the top 10 sv650 add-ons.

We've just launched the MCN shop, which has 39,000 products so far and its growing, so we'd like to use products that are available on there:
http://shop.motorcyclenews.com/

If you'd be willing to have a look and suggest the best sv650 products that are on there, ideally with help from your forum members, we could return the favour by crediting you in the article... something like "the best products for the sv650, as recommended by sv650.org" together with a link back to your site.

What do you think? Is this something you would be interested in?

thanks alot,

followed up with

let me know how it goes or if there's anything I can do... if your forum members could also post links to the products they recommend then that would make it easier later on!

Not sure of the best way to do this, we'll all have differing opinions, so it could end up being a long protracted debate

Probably best if each individual listed his/her top ten, with 1 being the highest priority and 10 the least.

James of can then collate the returns into a league table. The more time a certain item appears the more points it gets. James can then skim off the top 10.

Hope that makes sense.

My list to start the ball rolling

1- Conti Road Attack tyres. Massive improvement on the OE Dunlops. http://www.conti-bike.co.uk/default.asp?spid=3
2- A decent replacement end can, mines a Scorpion and it sounds brill. http://www.scorpion-exhausts.com/Bikes/index.php
3- Scottoiler. Who needs shaft drive. Fit and forget. http://www.scottoiler.com/
4- Fender extender for the front mudguard. Keep the rain off that front sparky plug. Mines a Pyramid. http://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/ca...products_id=98
5- Seat cowl. Improves the looks no end. Standard Suzuki accessory
6- Rear Hugger. Keeps the crap off the subframe which in turn keeps the rust at bay. http://skidmarx.co.uk/section/mudgua...rs/suzuki.html
7- Fender eliminator for the rear (tail tidy). Again to just improve looks. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/EVOTECH-PER...MPLEPAGEQQtZkm
8- K&N air filter. Safe price as Suzuki item but washable. http://www.knfilters.co.uk/
9- Braided Brake lines. No particular make, but maybe HEL. http://www.h-e-l.co.uk/

I bid you all a pleasent afternoon.

Actuialy, on a serious note, the number one top modification, must have bolt on, is the fender extender. Unless you like 33 bhp singles which also have a cylinder doing nothing.
