give me your mental ideas (front end) SV1000.

[davepreston]

right it seems nigh on imposible to find an orginal sv thou naked top yoke ,and with my orginal idea i cant use the comfort kit (no clock bracket connections)
so im fecking off my orginal idea and open to others
not the standard gsxr fork conversion

so what do you think
a drz front end
a apprila turno front end
i want it naked so take that into account
no stupid 22 grand moto gp forks ligit ideas only people

Walk to the pub for a while until a good solution appears?

[davepreston]

if only i wasnt working at 6am id be passed out drunk in a tree

[Bibio]

is it just for a more upright riding position?

[davepreston]

its for a completely new look not position

[Bibio]

i was going to suggest Gilles riser clipons if it were for hight..

forks, street triple?

[barwel1992]

a apprila turno front end


oi thats my thing get stuffed :mrgreen:

( you have to weld the sv stem in to the yoke or have a new one made) also front wheels are lacking and brake parts are a pita to get (brembo wont sell to the uk)

i would have said ohlins RSV forks but they bottom axle clamps crack ...

[DarrenSV650S]

Making a clock bracket is a piece of pish. And if you're not bothered about height then leave the clip-ons on and then you will definitely have a new look - cafe racer sv thou :D

haha you can get them from lots of places but most have a minimal order of £60 :/ and all come from our smaller island (dont know how that works)

ZX10 05-06 front?
Custom top yoke with flat bars?

[sv650nutter149]

give spannerman a pm :)

[Owenski]

no not a drz front end no chance, im assumin u mean the supermoto version but still no not a drz front end.

Dont tell barwell but I recon his is the nicest looking conversion I've seen so the aprillia gets my vote.

[AndyBrad]

Why dont ya just slap some shiny usd forks on it and a fancy top yoke? Job done and your out on it again?

[dyzio]

I got my Brembo stuff from: http://www.gear4offroad.co.uk/ no minimal order. As for the Ohlins forks, never heard about any problems with them :smt017

As for a fancy front end...

Piaggio MP3?

:smt040 ;)

[AndyBrad]

Now thats what dave needs :)

[Owenski]

Even 3 wheels wont prevent him from causing great self injury.

Thats what dave needs.

[SoulKiss]

Hammerhead trike?

No not an MP3 like above - more Can-am Spyder...

As said, might help with the falling off thing - with the stabilisers above that would be 5 wheels...

[yorkie_chris]

I'd use some of those GSXR K7 forks.

[mister c]

Mister Preston sir, how about these little puppies?

there were a few posts on rsvzone but after the forum when down are no longer there, ohh and just seen the price for a new set of ohlins (just the legs) £2.5k :eek:

[dyzio]

I troll a bit on ridersite, af1 and apriliaperformance, and to be honest this is the first time I've heard about it.

What was the cause? Heavy landings?

[barwel1992]

not that i know off, its because ohlins made the axle clamp thinner than the showa version and a few hairline fractured, if theres nothing on af1 about it then i doubt its a problem

[dyzio]

Dunno to be honest... worth investigating if someone fancies an upgrade :/

[barwel1992]

i will go do some digging

[BoltonSte]

Springer front end?

[mikerj]

Springer front end?

:D

Fitting a BMW Duolever front end onto an SV650 would be an interesting challenge, and certainly unique...

[paiste]

Harley front end complete with ape hangers:o
