SV650s (99) change to Naked

[vardypeeps]

Hello.

Please could someone let me know what is required to transfer my sv-s into a naked. It's a 99 curvy by the way.

Cheers :D

Sell it and buy a naked? :D

Biggest problem I can foresee is headlights / indicators and clocks.

[plowsie]

Bars, yokes, clocks, wiring to get into the clocks I think, shorter/longer cables, headlight, indis(might be okay to use same but prob not).

[vardypeeps]

That everything? not much really is it?

[vardypeeps]

LOL I would sell mine and get a naked but has anyone noticed the prices at the moment!

LOL I would sell mine and get a naked but has anyone noticed the prizes at the moment!

Prizes? What prizes, are there prizes for doing an S to naked conversion? :confused: :D

[davepreston]

indies you just get a wee bracket made for each fork easy

Yes, the prize of a few inches.

Thats your front wheel in the air, when you pull away thinking you have all that weight on the front still.

LOL corrected matey! I didn't know there where any either. ;)

I'm doing mine... this is the things that are different -



Clocks.
Headlight.
Headlight mount/fairing.
Handlebars.
Top Yoke.
Brake lines.
Mirrors.
Mirror mounts.
Brake leaver and reservoir.*
Radiator catch bottle holder.
Foot pegs.*
Radiator.*
Front loom.
Fairing panel mounts.*
Throttle cable.
Choke cable (can be re-routed)*

I think that's them all, the items with a * can be left, but might require some modification.

[vardypeeps]

So why does the front loom need changing? Is it totally different?
Oh answered my own question it's a single light!

Big job then. Would I get more money trading in a fully faired bike for a naked?

[plowsie]

Not just that, the clocks are different too.

In answer to the above, you'd be set to lose a lot less.

The naked bikes where less popular then the half faired models, so they are a touch harder to get hold of. Should fetch similar prices for the models though as it was only a few hundred quid less then the faired example when they where new.
