Question How to Tail Tidy?

Hey guys,

I've just picked up my new curvy SV.

I'd really like to tail tidy it, but being a complete novice when it comes to anything mechanical, i don't have the first clue on how to go about it!

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys
Craig

Go to the mod section on here

I done mine like this and it's quite easy. Just make sure you get a smaller liecence plate aswell

Just buy this http://www.hamicad.co.uk/SV_Fender.html

Fitting is reasonable simple if you follow the guide. Its well made and uses all original screws and fixings. No bodging required. Also looks great too

Apologies didn't realise you had a Curvy. Guess I should have checked your Profile Pic DOH!!

No this will not fit your bike. I am not sure there is a tail tidy for a Curvy model but maybe a more knowledgable member will be along to help.

Strange it works for me? ok just type 'sv650 undertray' into ebays search bar and have a gander at the aftermarket one then that should give you the idea
