two bros and the SV: a loving amazing combination. Don't setle for the stock can.

Z3n can you comment at all on brake upgrades and gsxr front ends? Wanna do both to my 07 over winter

You should probably source an entire new front end for, uh, performance reasons.

I'm running Pilot Powers CT2's on my SV and I love them over the stockers. Great tires. I was a bit worried about wet/cold weather performance but so far they've been just fine.

Can anyone recommend a set of flush mount or nice replacement stock turn signals?

A buddy was riding my SV today when he locked up the front and went down at about 10mph or so, my SV got it's first taste of pavement. Big honkin frame sliders did a great job of saving most of the bike, but the plastics got rashed a little bit and my turn signal got destroyed, along with my shift lever and left footpeg.

So it goes...

and then what did you do?

It is pre-2006. 2007 got the kickass dual plug head.

FWIW, I've never had a problem with mine cutting out in rain, but I've only ridden through a few torrential downpours. I just always made sure the spark plug top sealed well.

Didn't that portable43021897439824 dude have a bunch of problems with his? He hasn't posted in a while

 Two Brothers is loud.

It might not hit your ear loud on the seat but goddamn does that pipe penetrate urban apartments like no other.

not offensively loud (I dont think)

I feel like I need to have a helmet with an LED halo telling other drivers and pedestrians "I'M SORRY THIS ISN'T MY BIKE IT'S HIS >>>>>>>"
