Nice bike, belly pan would look good IMO.

If you want a GSXR front end, get a GSXR Wink

Good looking bike, lovely example.

That can suits it beautifully.
GSXR front end is a fantastic mod, or TL1000 front end.

Fair enough pal. I've found that the looks of the SV does tend to be a Marmite thing.

Personally, I like the looks of both the SV and the Fazer.

good start. You need

1) Pillion seat cover & remove the grab handle
2) Rear hugger
3) Belly pan. I think a black one would look good on this bike

GSXR front end mod is actually quite a lot of hassle by the time you've sorted out forks, spacers, wheel, mudguard...

Personally I also liked the R6 throttle tube (quicker action, 1/5 turn not 1/4 turn)

How good does that exhaust sound? Heard them on il4s but i can imagine a stubby can on a twin is stupidly loud?

If it is loud, is it a nice loud or offensive?

Your instruments and bars are exactly the same as my GSXR.

How olds your SV?

Just noticed, how did you get a tail tidy (or modify one) only things i have seen for the 2000 SV is to chop the rear up abit (and id rather not do that!)

Other than that, nice bike Thumbs Up

L4Isoside: The rear-end was like that when I bought it. I'm not sure if it's an homemade jobby or something that's been bought for it. Sorry for not being much help.
I will take a photo of the bracket that holds the number plate on though if that would be of any use?

check out below my thing for bikepics link and theres shots of my old sv fully faired. loved it. never had work done to it but once i road it straight after my gsxr and the flaws showed up.
the suspension on them really needs uprating as do the brakes. so go for the gsxr front end and you're laughing.
keep the original parts though and swap back to standard when you come to sell as although it improves the bike it devalues it at the same time.

I built the stone plinth that Kirkthorpe sign is fixed to, along with doing some work on Heath Hall, in around 1985 I think Very Happy
