Finally, I own an SV

[dizzyblonde]

IF you were being serious ask Badger or Claire or BP

[yorkie_chris]

I have heard enough from Mr Yokes that I would rather do business with the devils mother in law.
If I wanted a custom one I'd go to Davie_SV armed with a block of ally and a load of ale! Turns out you can know how to operate a CNC machine without being a complete c*nt! Who'd have thought it!

[dizzyblonde]

But did they all go to mr yokes? Sure BP didn't

[yorkie_chris]

Dunno. Must be someone else that sells them. Anyway, too much money.

[Bibio]

can you not just weld some plate into the webbing of the S one then drill it?

[missyburd]

Keep it as an S then !
noooooooo!

Time to get missYC a garage/house of her own, so she can park her bike without falling over :)

Then after that its a slippery slope, cause whatever house it is, it will have spare rooms, which in turn get filled with babies:smt082

noooooooo!

yayyyyyyyyyy well done you !!!!!! so pleased for u hun ! x

yeyyyyyyy! :-D


Also FAO YC, please could you try put some progress pics of the conversion so I can view it from afar? I want to keep up with the excitement! xx

[Specialone]

I too had the comfort conversion kit on my sv and it was ace, cannot fault the quality, top notch, customer services on the other hand ;)

I sold my kit minus brake lines, bar ends and longer cables for £100.

Looks almost like a couple portrait - one pretty one, one ugly greasy noisy one :p

[dizzyblonde]

That front subframes nice

Fits rather well don't you think.

[andrewsmith]

Looking well.

I'm being drawn to a TSM style naked, seeing mines in a similar state of pieces.
Is that a montesa tracker hiding in the background YC?

[yorkie_chris]

Not tracker, twinshock trials, cota 349.

[andrewsmith]

nice!
Next project, or is it a runner?

[yorkie_chris]

No it does work, I take it out occasionally but don't get chance very often.

[missyburd]

Fits rather well don't you think.

A bit toooo well :D

Looking good hun, i'm going to be so giddy when I get off this island and home :D

[Holdup]

Will this one be cleaned?

[missyburd]

Will this one be cleaned?
that would depend on how loosely you consider the term "clean"... clean as in it'll be going out in the rain a lot? ;)

[MrMessy]

Would it not have been easier just to buy a naked one? I have considered converting mine. I have an LSL handlebar conversion, but the problems with the clocks etc make it not feasible.

[andrewsmith]

YC this may be of interest to you (unless you've bought most of it already :p)

You want to find me a K1 with 6000 miles for £500? :)

[MrMessy]

Fair point Chris. Nether seem to find bargains like that! I would have been tempted to sell that on and get a cheap naked one.

[Garstang Rider]

Meet my new beautiful steed-to-be, a Y reg Yellow S Curvy. She's lurrrvely :D Oh and note her already impeccable taste in music :-D

Got her for a bargain too (which is lucky as I am now officially skint!). Didn't expect to get one so quickly so very happy.

She is to be converted into a naked (lucky I know a man who can eh? ;-) ) MY choice as although I love the look of her faired, I don't like the feel of it plus less stuff to damage should I drop her, less space to take up in the garage (which currently has 5 bikes and a mountain bike in it) and easier to move about at the bottom of our rather steep drive.

Tis just a shame I now have to spend a bikeless 2 months dreaming of riding her!

Oh and before I forget HUGE THANKS TO SVSTE ;)

Prolly way too late for this, but dont do it! [-X It's the fairing that makes em look so good! I'm keeping an eye out for lower fairing, someone else posted pics of a a fully faired curvy a while back that induced a Homer style drool.
I'm sure you'll see the error of your ways soon enough. :mrgreen:

[dizzyblonde]

MissYC is hell bent on having it go naked, but, I'm sure everytime its sat next to my faired yellow curvy......she'll be reminded of her mistake :lol:

[Geodude]

How's the upgrade to nekkidness going?

[missyburd]

he has two weeks! :D

[Geodude]
