SV for sale, K4 faired with front end damage.
Headlight and plastics smashed
Front forks bent
Bottom yoke bent
Front wheel/discs seem fine as forks took the impact and front mudguard is broken.
Givi rack fitted has damaged plastics for the box mounting (and box was busted/chucked) though the metalwork is fine

Bike starts and runs fine
Clocks work fine though have slight ripple at edge of plastic (assume caused by a tinted screen which was on there when I bought it, doesn’t affect display just the dark plastic trim around the clocks)
Both original screen and black tinted double bubble screen are fine and come with it
K&N air filter + original air filter
Hamicad undertray
Fender extender on front mudguard
Stainless steel oil cooler and radiator covers
Mirrors (with extenders) are, bizarrely, fine
All indicators undamaged
Brake pedal and pegs are fine though gear lever knob broken and has been screwed back on (works fine as it is)
Exhaust is scuffed
Frame is fine
Helibars were fitted and one of them is bent but I still have the original bars which can be put back on
Engine has under 12000 miles (plastics including clock removed from bike and I can’t be bothered to plug it back in to get it any more accurate than that…)
Radiator and oil cooler undamaged
Rear hugger
R6 throttle tube fitted, plus I have the original tube as well.

Brilliant project bike, has loads of good extras fitted, just needs the front frks/yoke sorted and then you can streetfighter it or splash out and have new plastics fitted/the existing plastics repaired and make it as good as new. Would streetfighter it myself were it not for the fact that a) I had no leisure time to ride it and it was only used for riding to work for the last year, b) I bought a car for work after the accident which is less hassle and quicker for me and c) Bad memories.

See the pics below and feel free to ask any questions if I've missed something. I'm after £1000 ono, no splitting, buyer collects.

You'll get far more if you fix it cheap

Have the forks and yoke straightened by ABE in Greenwich, find a used headlight off a Minitwins racebike and you're almost done.

Where is the bike located?

Yep, everything. I'll even throw in the new bike cover I got for Xmas and the rear micron paddock stand.

The bike is in Medway, North Kent.

There's no insurance category on this one as it was third party, fire and theft and so the insurers aren't interested in what state it's in, if that's a bonus to anyone.

More pics of the front for those who wanted them...

The front wheel... yes it's dirty, but it doesn't have any visible damage. Can't see any on the caliper or brake discs either.

You can see the impact was to the right fork leg

Light scratches to the frame, though were there before the accident and could easily be polished out:

Been working on it today, got the F.I. light to go out and I'm just charging it to see if I can start it. Then my second front end swap can commence!!!

Chears Sveeedy, fingers crossed I don't have any major problems!

Blimey, what are the chances of you having a complete spare front end lying around?

Sorry 600+, pm'd him last week about it and picked it up yesterday. Only told him i'd visit him tuesday night so not much time for him to say it'd been sold.

Anywho, got it started in the end only to fine the f.i. light on. Found a few connectors loose and all seems well.

I'll start the swap tomorrow after i've done the gixer swap on my current sv, hopefully should all be workin grand by saturday!
