What did you do to your bike today?

[IC3]

A small change, sorry for the bad quality. But my Nexus is slowly dying on me...

 

[tom_e]

The screen?

 

[IC3]

Yep

Looks better with or without? I can't decide, but after a quick blast on the motorway tucking in a little, the difference was satisfying.

Without

 

[Drangueos]

Without looks better, my bike also looks better without the screen... but the difference on motorway is hugeeeeee

 

[IC3]

Yeah, I still hate that massive dash sticking out, I would much rather have 2 round circle sticking out. A speedometer and a rev counter, I hate this diamond shaped dash.

What bike do you have? The one you mentioned above.

 

[Chris]

Some new toys for installation over the weekend

Brembo M4 Calipers
BST Carbon Wheels
Brembo ORO Front & Rear Discs
Brembo SC pads
Talon 42T Sprocket

Got some HEL Braided lines to come along with some Titanium Disc Bolts, new Metzler M7RR tyres will be fitted as well.

Looking forward

Chris

Those wheels alone cost more than my whole bike

 

[Sin_Chase]

Those wheels should make a hell of a difference to the feel of the bike!

 

[^JP^]

I won't say I am jealous but man I have those BST wheels in the cart for my 899 and haven't had the balls to check out yet!

What bike are they for? Need some pictures

 

[TallPaul_S]

Oooh, shiny! What's that going on? Not an SV650 I'm guessing?

Yes their supposed to be about half the weight both front and rear as my bike came with the OZ Style Malgatech Cast Wheels.

Why? Is a poor little SV not good enough for some carbon wheels!?

Nope Unless it's an IOM supertwin bike of course

Ahh yes, I remember the last upgrades you did. Should be a stonking bike with those wheels

How are the LED low beams? I'll probably upgrade the low beams to LED bulbs once I get a Tuono.

Not really an SV anymore, is it?

 

[TallPaul_S]

Exactly You'd need to upgrade a load of things on the rest of the bike before thinking about carbon wheels

That's why I always laugh reading some of the comments on the SV groups about the owners loving the bike, but than they list their mod list full of parts from other bikes. If you really loved the bike, you would have kept it stock...

How much are those carbon wheels?

 

[Junglist]

^^ Super jealous of all the new toys.

Couldn't sit on a R6, was he a midget?

Ha, he must've been about 5'5" I reckon.

feels so much better at this height though. turning feels much finer if that makes sense. Will get suspension set up next weekend hopefully.

They are excellent make a hell of a difference over the standard bulbs
