Looking very nice mate.:cool::cool: Those forks are nice. Kinda wish I'd gone for silver ones
What's the story with the abba stand? Is that an attachment holding up the engine?

transparent ones in the first pic :rolleyes:

the abba stand is the hydraulic lift one , worth its weight in gold.

The front end is the gsxr 750 srad one with the gsxr front wheel.

I bet. Wish I'd known about them when I was doing mine. I had the bike strapped to the roof which made the stem area difficult to access because the straps got in the way

flipping heck that sounds like missions !

im so glad we have got this abba stand at home its saved me no end of hassle doing this , not only that its probably saved me a small fortune aswell because ive not had to pay a mechanic

[DarrenSV650S]

Yep it was a PITA

I really like the front end...I've been looking at my bike lately and pondering doing the ol' upside down fork conversion to my ceeerrrrrvvveeeee

but first things first

service and hagon rear shock

mate, there is no comparison at all between the front ends its a serious must do. i have ridden my mates stock sv and it feels totally different. I got the hyperpro full rear shock, again thats awesome in my opinion.

The only downside is the cost of it all

Heres some pictures of the caliper rebuilds im doing. The bike is having a complete overhaul, its costing me a lot of money but its worth it.

Check the state of this rear caliper and the rubber seal inside it !

ive put some pics of it during clean up and the put together.

[sv_rory]

and the last.

Ive still got to do the two fronts and rebuild the rear brake pedal to stop that sticking.

[shonadoll]

That's a nice bike.

Powerbronze?

Powerbronze?

Sorry i dont have a clue, i have looked on the screen but cant see any name on it :confused:

[Miss Alpinestarhero]

Well just from looking at the pictures, it looks very similar (if not the same) as the powerbronze (http://www.powerbronze.co.uk/Shop/Products.aspx?MC_ID=818266)screens.

I dont want one but was helpfully suggesting it :-D

Looks like the powerbronze one ive got left over from my curvy

[sv_rory]

And the project continues,

Heres some pictures of the rebuild. The bearings have all been fitted, front/rear wheel sprocket carrier and headstock so now it can all go back together with a good clean of all bits before fitting.

Heres my progress pics. I reckon the new brake disks look smart fitted, so i thought id show off :mrgreen:

Do you always use £20 notes to refurbish brakes on? ;)

[sv_rory]

And some more .

Cheers, it took a long time but its all done now and runs better than ever

[ThEGr33k]

That is nice... But tbh ive never been bothered about the curvy full fairing, just looks soooo fake and added. But thats just my opinion, get belly pan tbh :)

Other than that its a very nice example! Hope the hard work was worth it! :cool:

[sv_rory]

I took some more pictures of the bike on my journey back from the ace cafe london, these pics were taken at the london gateway services outside the main entrance.
