well the title sez it all..sv650s+crash+new owner+enthusasim+cash injection+imagination= project SVR!

recently aquired and in a non road worth state, first step is to get it mot-a-ble and onthe road as a spare legal(ish) bike and then i can get carried away with modding it.


initial ideas have come to fruition.. thought id post my provisional sketched idea ...:rolleyes:

Very similar to the "modern cafe racer" based around a TL1000 lump, that I've been planning the past two years. Looks good :)

..or maybe a sssa (single sided swingarm) rear of the vfr/triumph 1050 ilk??

single sided swingarm
This is my next possibility....

[pencil shavings]

nice drawing!

wish i could draw!! :(

Looking closer at the design you are going to have a few issues, the exhaust for a start wil be a lot of work as you need both front and rear headers to have the same flow. The air intakes wouldn't be a good idea, not a funtioning good idea anyway, and the twin side mounted rad is OTT.

If you really want to make that bike I would suggest that some parts should be dummy parts, this then leaves the SV to work as intended.

im the sort that changes things during abuild, either because my original plans dont work well enough, or i have a more ludicrius idea!!!


who knows where the project is gonna lead me..... i know i dont really have a clue... :flower:

[Dangerous Dave]

on the funny side u could look at it as a genuine artists impression, which we all know in the real world is 99% the exact opposite of what it looks like!

look at the latest nissan micra cabriolet in pink- the artist sketched it and it looked like a mini ferrari. in reality it was a pink turd with a electric roof so people could see the loser whos driving it

[Stu]

So true :(


:lol:

here is my scrap trailer.. i mean project bike, exactly as it was when it got abandoned here 3weeks ago... though the parts are building up in the shed for my full frontal attack ( restoration/modification i mean) ;)

And the other side???

Dump the R&G's and get some Motosliders for a start.

-nope im just gonna dump them- cant stand mushrooms in any form-though the brackets may come in handy for side mounting a pair of vtr radiators!!!


And the other side???
well... needs a little loving- its all cosmetic..ish and bits that are gonna be replaced. untill i get it out the trailer and start working on it i cant quite camera it- fences and pond in the way
