Project SV - most recent updates...and a carbon SV tank!
 
Hi all,
Some of you may have seen my project SV in the past but it's just been freshened up:
new bodywork, powdercoat and paint. Have a look...

http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...hreadid=173852

Also, I've documented and posted the process of how I built a carbon fiber SV gas tank. If any of you are interested in composites, you may enjoy this. It's a bit lengthy but there's lots of detail. This is not the tank that's on my project SV, but it was done exactly the same way.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Ride safely,
Chris

Oh my god... That is brilliant! Wow... I am so jealous! Although... It's still a curvy at heart. ;) Just kidding mate, I love it!! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Congratulations, be very happy with it.

What are all the parts included? I read that you started with the MV tail and it spiraled from there, what are the main changes?

Main mods are the MV subframe, tail and mufflers. That's hooked to the M4 header that was wildly modified to connect it all up.
Honda RC30 swing arm
Ducati rear wheel
Dymag wheels
'03 GSX-R 1000 front end
