I haven't posted any pics of the bike as she stands now.

Still so much I want to do.

I guess that means you are still happy with your purchase. Any more details?

Not really. Not much to tell. I made a radiater grill because i thought £40 was a little expensive. It cost me £14.00. I got Motografix tank pad and i've painted a few things on the bike as well as cutting the side panels on the side of the bike.

There's a few more things avaible to get for the bike. Pyramid Plastics are bringing out a nice belly pan as well as hugger and seat cowl. I've seen a couple of nice screens too.

Next project will be to get the footrest hangers powder coated.

A bit expensive at £75, Mind you the Evotech one is'nt that much cheaper.

Had an off in France and the R & Gs saved the bike. Damage was a scratch to the bottom of the fairing all the protectors are in need of replacement and bent a foot peg ! That's why you pay a premium for protection !

The original SV650 didn't have or need one, and I suspect they only stuck one on there in '03(?) for "style".

I like the looks too, and compared to the Smart is down right sexy! In fact, everything about this bike seems (can't say for sure) better than the Smart.

 

[MazPillion]

Especially the fact that it has the requisite 2 wheels to be a bike.....

Now why can`t they do a 1000 !
