SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

This lockdown situation gave me the chance to give the sv a good going over. Its just been ridden for a while and apart from the usual maintenance to keep things running I've done very little with it. It just looked a bit tired and sorry for itself!

So... Both wheels have been freshly painted, as have the frame + swingarm, tail undertray and various other small components and brackets. I've extended the side stand and repainted too. I have also made + fitted a new number plate mount and new indicators to both front and rear. The exhaust has also been refurbished with any rusted brackets removed and new sections welded in place, plus new exhaust studs/bolts/clamps fitted. Also a couple new vacuum lines fitted as well as an inline fuel tap to allow removing the tank without having to drain the fuel first. The battery has been replaced for a fresh Motobatt too.

Its come up nice and its renewed my love for it once again :)

Very tidy!
Real nice bike that.

The back end's pretty slick...though looks a bit of a ball crusher - is it comfy?

Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

Thanks :)

Yeah very comfy. What you can’t see is that the foam beneath the seat covering has been shaved flat, so doesn’t push you into the tank at all.

Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

I do like that! Afraid ole back would complain if I tried anything like that - but great style

Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

Lovely job. Is the Number plate legal?

They are over-keen around here :(

Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

Great looking bike. Inspired me to go and read your build thread. What's become of the fairing, and plans for the alternate shock arrangement?

Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

It’s 7 x 5. Never had an issue mate. I think maybe because it looks fairly in proportion to the tail. Doesn’t look too out of place. And it’s not positioned in any way that makes it hard to read like some I’ve seen out there!

Thanks. The fairing still exists but I came to prefer it without. And the alt shock arrangement got benched when I acquired a new bike project!

Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

As ever, a very nice bike there.

But whats happening with the other project bike?

Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

Looking very good there. The curvy makes such a lovely caff racer.

Re: SV Lockdown Freshen Up
 

That's quite pretty - for a curvy.
