Sorry for another thread, but I took my 'Bird on my first proper run today, and took a few pics. Here is one of my faves:

Nice.

But you have to do something about those white monstrosities:eek:

maybe see if they can be made black somehow rather than leaving holes in the bodywork by removing them?

Yes, they ar monstrosities....but they will leave rather large holes if I remove them. I will have to see if I can wrap them, or paint them somehow, or replace with mushrooms.

Clueless in most things
I think Jaws do black flatter ones for around ?21 ish? might be worth an email telling them what you have and will theirs fill that gap/need?

Unless they have changed the JAWS ones are much smaller and replace the top bolt in the fairing. Sadly I do not think they will do the job Lower down.

Correct, the shrooms fit the top fairing bolt, designed so if you drop the bike it doesnt flip onto the top fairing, by the position of the protectors you have it will, causing more damage, you will need new engine mount bolts if you replace the white ones, i think ?.

Someone more knowledgable may verify this

Looks well does that.

Just looking at picking same colour up off to view it tamoz Blackbird 1999 1 owner
From new 23k on clock looks in fab condition 2350 price seems decent is Crimbo.

Did the B500 black forest and no way am doing it on a SV 650 again felt like I can only imagine been bummed by Rocco. Mate let me have a blast on his Blackbird and it was pure Grin factor and comf 130 felt like 70.

Thanks for the group add guys @tu*
