dgyver, how did you go about packing your exhaust? I bought a CF race pipe. I want to quiet it down, but was told there is no way to do it. The packing would just shoot out. There has to be a way.

There normally is a mesh screen tube the length of the can that holds the packing against the outer sleeve.

Very cool.  Any chance that you'd be willing to make another set for me?

Sorry, I do not have time to even finish my own projects.

Getting back to finishing a last few items....

Made the bracket for the speed sensor tonight. It tested all good but need to fix the wiring for it. Too tired tonight and probably mess something up.

While the fender was off, I fixed a crack in the lower mount. I was laying up the second half of the 01+ race tail mold so I had extra epoxy to use. I should be pulling the mold off this weekend and hopefully it comes out good.

That's all we get!?!? 

Quit teasing us D! 

Geez, cut me some slack.... it took my about 2 hours to make it. 

Alright, I'll cut you some slack. Since you helped me out so much, but I want to see some more pictures soon!

What kind of gauge are you using?

2002 SV650S gauges

I finally pulled the 01+ race tail mold from the master tonight. It turned fairly well but there are a few places to fix. Hopefully I can take care of it tomorrow and then prep it for a lay-up next week.

what moding would need to be done to fix the sv gauges on a GSf

Loose them fairins so da gauges don't beat them up when you turn. 

J/K D will have to awnser this.

Ben may just be messing around but he has a valid point.  Mounting in a similar manner to most modern sportbikes would need to be fabricated keeping the gauge assembly clear of the turning radius of the triples.

Yes, but I am not giving them to anyone. I have way too much time invested.

I layed up the tail last night. I really hate the FG cloth that I have. It has a tight weave and very difficult to get the air bubbles out. It took longer to work them out. Tough since I was using 1-hour pot life epoxy. I should have used a layer of CF first (much easier to work with) and use the FG cloth as a second layer. Oh well, will have to wait to see how it turns out. If it is too much work to fix, I will lay up another using CF as the first layer next week.

I transferred the tag and switched insurance from my 97. I better get this bike done before the Deals Gap Rally in June.

Not much else to get it ready...
- Finishing the tail (probably will not have a seat pad before June)
- Mount the brake light
- Mounting the shock reservoir
- Storage box

A couple of other items are in the works and may get done for Deals...
- Chin fairing (needs prep & paint, fab mounting brackets)
- Windscreen (needs mounting brackets)

I'm getting excited, I want to see this bike finished. I may have to go on the Deals Gap trip just so I can see the finished product. 

Here are the lastest pics. The tail sits a little higher since it is mounted on a stock seat pan. The pan has been shortened, cut off after the lock. I also had to cut out the middle to allow additional clearance for heat from the exhaust. I will be adding a heat shield as well.


The freshly painted tail. I plan on painting a white number plate and clear coating it.
I glued the seat foam to the tail before painting. I wanted to glue it directly to the fiberglass, not the paint. The foam is from an exercise mat.




The TL1000R brake light matched the lines pretty good.




I located the lock to ther rear.




I mounted the reservoir for the Foc TC shock last week. The shock was reworked by Traxxion.




No problem with keeping stuff dry.

Looks awesome D. I think you have more storage than on a stock gs, certainly dryer. Have you ridden it yet?
