Default New clothes

Decided to put my freshly sprayed body work onto the SV this afternoon as I had a bit of spare time






and yes i know the subframe looks rubbish and yes i know the downpipe needs polishing and yes it does need a good clean

Yeah it must be although i think yours needs a bit more pimping than mine
Still got a few things to do on it, have got some new stainless bolts on order from chewy, need to finish spraying my spare wheels and then get my spare rear subframe (among other bits) powdercoated

Well I have Big Al to thank for the paint job, the pictures really don't do it justice it really pings in the sunlight. lol that can does look mahoosive doesn't it i need to get a replacement as it's a bit scraped up under that R&G protector where i threw myself down the road a couple of years ago but it will get stubbied at some point just don't want to cut up the akra just yet

For a start I like the colour, unfortunately Im not a fan of the aftermarket sv650 graphics. Just my opinion ofcourse but I have some original ones in black if you want them?

If its not a rude question how much was the paint job? Is BigAl a pro or just doing it in his spare time?

Looks good DD. Although I also am not overly keen on the graphics buy then its not my bike!!

Looking forward to seeing the finished bike.

Thanks but no thanks, I specifacally didn't want oem decals, as I dont like them. The ones on there are painted on and lacquered over, not the crappy stickers that suzuki use
