Re: Tail Tidy Recommendations
Yeah, one of my mates got a J-Tech tail tidy for his Tuono, and he was impressed with it (as well as all the quality packaging, instructions, etc). I might give it a go and see what it's like. Will... |

Re: Sv650 goat?
I sold my K8 a year or so ago and missed it dreadfully, so have been looking for a new bike over the past couple of weeks. Got test rides on the Yamaha MT-07, Tracer 7 and the new Honda Hornet. ... |

Re: Forum Changes ?
Cheers for the idea about filters - that brought much more up (even though most of them are a bit old now). The default is either less than it used to be, or there's simply less traffic through it. ... |

Re: Forum Changes ?
Yeah, that all makes sense - it's a sign of the time I suppose. I hope the site lasts long enough to help me with any questions I have when I get sorted. But after two 650s and a 1000, I should know... |

Forum Changes ?
I sold my SV in 2019 and have been off bikes since. Miss it like mad, so thinking about getting back into it again. Came on the forum to have a look at the 'For Sale' section but it, like several... |

Re: Who is still about?
SV sold on Sunday after having it (and being on here) for 10 years. Now bike-less for the first time in over 20 years. Strangely not that fussed. Thought I'd be gutted ... |

Re: Who is still about?
Still here too, but also doing more pedalling than motor-biking. But the SV is extremely clean in the garage !!! |

End can performance question
A few years back I had a Hornet 600 which was great, apart from a huge ugly end can. At the NEC show I bought an Art can for it which looked and sounded much better. The only issue was that at... |

Re: SV refurb questions
Andy, it's just the standard cowl. Maybe the angle makes it look different ? |

Re: SV refurb questions
A mere 3 months later and the SV is back together again. Forks have new springs, oil and paint. Wheels have new paint. Need to organise braided cables, a hugger and an end can. Happy (and... |

Re: SV650s k8 red seat wanted
I've got one in the garage. Took it off my black K8 and put a black one on it. It was in immaculate condition when I put it away, so doubt that's changed. PM me if it sounds like what you need. |

Re: SV refurb questions
Head finally drilled off the offending mudguard screw. Then a nut welded to the stump which screwed off neat as you like. Neither of which was done by me - its good to have talented friends with... |

Re: SV refurb questions
It's a Warrior. Not sure where I got it from, but I just had a quick look on-line and Demon Tweeks are doing them for £40. I think I paid £28 for it so there may be deals out there. It's rock... |

Re: SV refurb questions
A slight bit of success. Right hand bolt off (eventually), so I removed the forks, but with the mudguard still attached to the left fork. Not ideal, but I can now put it in vice and access the... |

Re: SV refurb questions
I found an old thread from 2013, which suggests that these bolts seizing is pretty common. I put the wheels back on and took it off the stands so I could give it more than a gentle tap with the... |

Re: SV refurb questions
Been busy last couple of days but went out today to take the mudguard and forks off - plan was to take everything round for powder coating. Minor (I hope) snag. The mudguard bolts are properly... |

Re: SV refurb questions
Cheers for the replies. I was thinking of powder coating over painting because I thought that would be a more robust finish, and because there's a few powder-coaters near me. I'm open-minded... |

Re: Another electrical issue
Cheers for the link. Might be useful to have, although it's back to normal again (I've probably just jinxed it now !!!). |
