GP style exhausts on an SV?

[the_lone_wolf]

anyone know if the above idea would work, afaik there's no exhaust manufacturer that produces the twin or single gp style exhausts as found on aftermarket GSXRs etc for the SV, but after hating the look it's growing on me - has anyone attempted such a thing? any massive problems you might encounter? no idea if it's feasable so please don't think i'm a numpty straight out of the gate

this is the kind of look i'd be after:



not a stubby can but the twin pipes...

Not a flattering photo of it (imagine the pillion peg gone & the sealant faded) and it's not twin pipes but it's a working example.
The bikes that are designed for these pipes tend to have baffling before the pipe, unlike the SV, so if you do it, it is likely to be ridiculously loud.

Just a few windows broke, ears started bleeding, not much really


& I missed the best part of the day going home to change it
BUt no rectification notice when I was stopped by the police (within a week of putting it on)

is it a proper exhaust? looks very loud, is there baffles in it?

It sounded the dogs danglies on track though

Riding Position how to, and how not too...!

Guys & Gals,

After much debate about riding position, and how people want to improve their riding, and particulalry their riding in corner, or in their quest to get their knee down, I've had several requests on how to do body position and how not too... So I've got the bike out of the garage (for the first time in 9 months Crying or Very sad) , and taken these piccys.

Now I need to make a few provisos about this article. Firstly, everyone has their own individual riding style, what will feel good too you, etc. I am in no way trying to change this, however as many of you know I'm a very big fan of California Superbike School and have been through the entire course, and additionally completed several day 4 sessions on a 1-2-1 basis. Now if you were to go through the school yourselves, they would overhaul your body position to something similiar to this, so for those of you that can't afford the 1200 quid to go through the entire school programme, you may find this article of use. This will not however, ever replace the school programme, and if you can do it, I'd reccomend you do.

Secondly, this article is only in particularly talking about how to ride fast, either for fast road, or for track days. You couldn't and wouldn't want to ride like this for normal everyday riding, so please don't try as you'll be very knackered. Also riding as shown properly, is very hard work, so be warned.....

Ok, we're going to split this article into two stages. Stage 1 will be showing the common riding mistakes many riders make. I will post photos to describe the problem, pointing out specific areas that are wrong. Following on from this, I will post pictures on good body position and photos showing that too. Hopefull everyone will be able to tell the difference..... Smile

Bad riding position



This image shows most riders normal riding position, or at least those who are fairly new to riding. Please note on this image two fundamental problems. 1) Body not right back to the rear of the seat, .
