Advice for my motorbike, please!
March 26, 2015, 11:30:23 am
So guys, as you've seen, this is the new bike with the new exhaust.

To complete its cafe racer look, I am going to put some exhaust heat wraps.
They come in various colours and I can't decide.
White: they would match the paint, but they'll also get dirty quite soon, right?
Black: they would match the engine, but how will they go with the chromed silencer?
Titanium: it's a kind of grey/green, won't match anything.

Current favourite is black.
Opinions?
Cheers.

Black for me.

Think white will just end in a brown/grey mess and anything else wouldn't go I reckon.

Smart looking bike Nibs, my SV has not faired so well after 3 years of everyday use!

Cheers!
I have no merits for the bike look, it's been made by a guy in Turin, lovely work. I was after a cafe racer and had seen this one

The owner wasn't very friendly, and while I was deciding he took off the advert only to put back on another one with the price increased by 700 Euros!
Also, the Fazer is too powerful for my likes having around 95 hp, and I didn't like much the back end. Heavy looking bike, also.
Then I found the SV and bought it right away!
I've seen that the Fazer is still on sale, with price increased by another 500 Euros!!! From original 1700 Euros to 3000!!! Mofo. Also, the bike is still the same, but miraculously the hours of work spent on it increased and its km decreased!!!
No wonder it's still unsold.

Black nibs - any other colour would end up looking skanky.
