Leo Vinci (Also known as Leo Vince) Titanium Cans
When I bought the bike at the end of March 2003 there were
absolutely no aftermarket parts for the SV but I struck lucky
when my Dealer offered me a great deal on these TLR cans. They
had been ordered in specially for another customer who'd never
collected them. Excellent quality and sound great without
being obnoxious.
I love the 'understated look' and the absence of bloody great
badges that many manufacturers insist on riveting to the sides! |

Rad Guard
Essential equipment in my book but after numerous enquiries I
was aware that there was not going to be anything on the market
for months....too late for me. So out with a few sheets of
cardboard, a pencil and tape measure and the AndyW DIY rad guard
was conceived.
Took the template round to a local metal
fabrication business and the next day I had this (they opened up
the oil cooler surround and inserted the same mesh in that for
me as well)....sprayed with silver UHT/VHT paint and fitted.
£30 plus the cost of the paint. Not as slick as the guards you
can buy now but I kinda like the look and it works well so I've
stuck with it...no overheating. |

Art Evolution Carbon/Alloy Hugger
More essential equipment and the same problem....so I bought
this TLR hugger and after several installs and removals I
finally 'rearranged' the mounts to fit the SV.
Classy looking bit of kit but the alloy needs
regular polishing to keep the finish. The alloy bits are
available anodised but I like the polished metal look. |

The Art Evo hugger has gone now,
replaced by a Pyramid Plastics GRP hugger - the Art
looked slick but being a fastideous bastard I was never happy
with the not quite perfect fit due to it being a TLR modified
item. I'd have gone and bout the SV version but cash is
tight and I had a kind offer of the Pyramid hugger from Simon.W.
I've made my own stainless steel mounting bracket for the right
side instead of the rather ugly affair that Pyramid provide.
