Bike back on the road!

[Wideboy]

after nearly 7 months the sv is finally back on the road :D don't ask me what i have been doing as really i haven't been doing anything but alot of you lot and the south west lot (not to mention drew, lily and girth) kept moaning at me so past month or so I've knuckled down and finished. Been up most of the night doing the last bit of spraying ont he tank and mudguard plus general doohickery, up at 5AM to put back together and finished it at precisely 8:14AM this morning ready for it's 12:00 MOT (yes i cut it close :lol:)

stuff done is in my sig so read that :), only one problem, the speedo doesn't work but mehh

as for the suspension, riding it around the road i was thought "wtf i wasted my money on this ****, its exactly the same!" but having got it out onto the road i can see where the gains are. feels more solid, more stable/planted in the corners and just the general ride comfort it loads better. anyway here's the money shots....... ignore the dirt i've not cleaned it since before AR and I've just done 60 miles on it, im shattered and can't be bothered to clean it or ride any further :lol:

Meh that's not finished - where's the underseat exhaust???

Looks good though.

[fatneck]

That looks stunning, good job!

[thulfi]

nice work mate. Coming from a man who is all about the black bikes, that does look sweet.

[maviczap]

Yep, that looks real good

As I've done my GSXR front end, do I qualify for one of those lovely Sv650R decals. If so, how much and where? :p

[Jayneflakes]

That is pretty nice













for a curvy! :-dd
Actually, that is rather cool, well done with the work. Hope that you continue to enjoy the summer sunshine on that one. :p

[Wideboy]

Are they vinyl? If he has the art work on a PC I could probably get them done at a sign shop couldn't I?

I'm not expecting anything for free, beer tokens available or just beer :p

[DarrenSV650S]

Why did you put the decals on the primer?

[ChrisSV]

[Amanda]

OOooooooo, me likey alot!!! I love the white since I saw a GSXR600 with a sparkly tribal design on it. Would finish the bike off nicely???

Well done for getting it done mate. Might actually see you in your leathers soon :thumbsup:

[Holdup]

For a curvey does look nice

Mucho gracias WB :smt058

[skeetly]

Looks fantastic.

You want to watch that front mudguard if you move it back with a disc lock on though.......



















































sorry...

[Wideboy]

don't know what your talking about! :smt090

[missyburd]

Ooooh love it! The new Suzuki text and the R decal, looks really swish :D

[Mrs_giggles]

im loving the white, looks really distinctive something to get ya noticed

[dizzyblonde]

I do hope the Roca didn't come already painted. They are really bad for chipping in half a mile from new, Fooked me right off did that, after all that brass spent

If you did it, then cool beans, =P~
Well done Gav....now polish that downpipe;)

[dizzyblonde]

ps.....could have chosen better scenery for her debut pics.....that Astra is spoiling the view :-)

[Wideboy]

nay had the belly pan for ages, it is stupid for them to be made of fibre glass it took me ages to repair all the chips in it cracks in it

[Owenski]

thats mint gav the suzuki font on the tank and nose cone really works, me likey :) well done.

I'll be on at you for the spraying tips now then.

[lily]

(not to mention drew, lily and girth) kept moaning at me so past month or so I've knuckled down and finished.

Look forward to seeing it on thursday! :smt026

[Iansv II]

Very nice, worth the wait

[thedonal]

That does look very swish in white. Very swish.

Nice!

[Alpinestarhero]
