Help me mod the SV!
 
Feedback, opinions, dumbed down how to's needed! I think this will be the start of never ending mods and remods. But I barely know how to turn a wrench :lol: so I need everyone's help!

To start (March 29, 2010)- stock SV with fender eliminator and non matching bikini fairing.

Well, I am officially poor, so nothing drastic or pricey for now. First things first though, I have ordered frame sliders and am will be ordering a tank bra in about 10 minutes since I sit right up on the tank.

I'm thinking of maybe painting the bikini fairing black or some other color. I don't know the first thing about painting fairings though. Feel free to post up a "How to" for me :)

Oh and I have to peel off all the warning stickers. I peeled off the big S on the bikini fairing today.

Skip that tank bra. Get a pad instead.

This. I ditched tank bra because caught way too much dust and crap and was effin' up my paint.

And even though it's been infected by VS, SVRider still has a ton of good how-to's for a lot of the popular mods.

Exactly.

I'll agree with the tankbra ditch. Get you a pad and some TechSpec gripster for the sides. You will love the way they grip. No more legs sliding all over the tank. The Techspec is much easier to work with than the Stompgrip.

Are you gonna keep the silver? If so, Colorite sells rattle can to match make and model. You might consider it for the bikini.

motosliders for frame sliders on that thing.

Sell the blue and buy a gray fairing.

I do my usual safety mods first on every bike I buy: rear brake flasher, brighter headlight bulbs, frame sliders. A sick looking bike doesn't pay medical bills.

I've heard that from everyone on SVR. What makes them better than the other brands? Or are they just cheaper?
