Title: FINALLY!!!! NEW PICS!!!
Post by: mastrind on March 02, 2006, 11:09:30 PM
I feel like I've been working on the SV forever.....tomorrow I finish with the clip-ons and it will be rideable.....total work done:

Complete GSXR Showa frontend swap with braided brake lines, sunrisers, and 6-pot calipers
GSXR Shock Swap
Installed power-commander
DIY speedo mod thanks to jim on the svrider site

while I was at it, I had the wheels, subframe, top triple clamp, and a spare swingarm powdercoated

work still to be done:

Toby steering dampner....goota modify the mounting bracket.....will do in Arkansas during spring break in pop-in-laws shop....unless I get antsy tomorrow....
install the black swingarm
ign advancer going in as soon as it and the gasket arrive
waiting on parts to convert to a naked bike (headlights in, waiting on fork brackets, then need to fab gauge mount)

tomorrow's my day off.....I'll be up early so I can get to work and snap off a few pics....

the project took so long because I had some triple issues, wheel problems, and my powdercoater went on vacation for 2 weeks....damn it's gonna fell nice to go for a ride tomorrow.....aw crap....I'm goin to the garage now....screw waiting.....

...I'll get my wife to take some better pics (she's a photographer).....the wheels look badass in person.....much better then the silver....can't wait to put one the swingarm.....probably gonna be after the vacation....but with all the mods....it's like seeing and riding a new bike.....I think I'm gonna leave the lowers off for a while....being able to convert from fully-faired to half-faired to naked makes it feel like I've got 3 bikes....me likey that idea....
