Awesome project... any new updates? All finish yet?

The last full pic posted was how it looked... until this morning.

Been a busy day...

Removed the GSXR forks and Katana forks (w/ Sonic Springs from my track bike) with a black w/ polished edges wheel to be installed tomorrow, had to mod another GS/Kat stem, paint drying. The silver Kat wheel has been replaced with a black Bandit 600. Modified a couple of spacers and it fit like a charm. The wheels are shoed with Michelin Pilot Race H2 110/150 tires. Removed the Fox TC shock and replaced it with a GSXR shock (forgot the year), need to move some electrics due to the shock mounted reservoir. The shock is longer but the Kat forks are longer as well. This helps with the reduced rear wheel clearance with the undertail exhaust.

There are some minor issues to address... speedo wiring, headlight mounts (smaller fork diameter), bleed the brakes, move the rectifier, and a few other small things.

The parts removed have already been installed today on my 01 SV650S. Sorry GS lovers. Yeah for the SV lovers!

Took a break and replaced the crank set on my mountain bike.

They are Showa forks, which are GSXR. TLR had KYB. Oh yeah, they have been reworked. Sweet.

Start to swap some parts over to my SV. Installed Kat forks (w/ .95 Sonic Springs) from my track bike, GSXR shock and Bandit 600 rear wheel. On a side note, found 3 original brackets for the chin fairing for a total of 4. They were in a box of bolts I bought a while back. I suprise myself with what I have at times.

As she sits now...

Updates bump

Nothing new. Have not worked on it, except for painting the chin fairing brackets. Busy with other projects around the house. Need to finish it and put it up for sale.

What made you switch from the GSXR forks to the Katana forks? I think it looks great. I don't mind the separate color tank and tail either, but I think it might look real classy if you faded the tail color to match the tank up front, and then fade to it's current color by the time it passes the seat.

dgyver

I put the GSXR f/e on my SV, along with the Fox shock.

A fade would look great but I am not much of a painter. My skills are limited, so it will probably not change. Paying someone is not practical for me or the budget of the build.

I have been in the middle of a another smalll addition to my shop. It is a mess right now with little room to work, so not much has changed. I am almost done with the addition, hopefully both bikes will be completed over the winter and be ready for the good weather. If I get the 569cc motor back together this winter it may get installed as well.

The addition is for yard equipment storage, so I am not adding to the conditioned space. Already had most of the materials, just finding the time. The heatpump can handle more area, still have about 500 sqft extra capacity.... hmmm

Hope things are getting better for you Ben.
