Re: Hi from new member - I want to do a cafe racer

HI Alex,

I've been away so sorry for the slow reply; sounds cool. I'll have a good read through and comment back. Running into some management issues with an outright "No" from my wife so I may...

Re: Hi from new member - I want to do a cafe racer

Hi GT Alex,

Sounds equally interesting. I am still waiting on budgetary approval but have a reasonably good idea of what I want to achieve. Have you made your own subframe and seat unit or used/...

Re: Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

£30 sounds like a bargain to me. I probably cannot spell Ackroponic or whatever it is so I assume this one cannot either?!

Re: Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

Thanks SVB,

Both look good, especially the latter. I like the way you have got that headlight tucked right in, I shall take a look on your build thread and see how you did that. What gauges are...

Re: Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

That has been an inspiration; actually I'll ask them as they are very happy to chat about their builds.

Re: Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

I agree Chris. A weight saving is always useful though so the small stubby looks like a good option. I could balance the weight loss by doing the different chain and sprocket option on the other...

Re: Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

Food for thought. Just need to get executive approval on my project (my wife ;-)) and then I can get to it. I suppose one of those really stubby little pipes (looks more like an exhaust trim than a...

Re: Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

It's a conundrum isn't it?! which is why I like to think about this stuff before doing anything. Maybe triangulate off of the front peg fitting?

Re: Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

Re: Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

Thanks Craig,

Do you have to trim the link pipe to suit? All the ones I have seen when I try searching seem to hang low down off of the rear peg hanger?

Is there a low mounted GP/ stumpy exhaust for curvy SV?

I have been searching all over the place and have a seen a few fuzzy pictures but are there any good/ affordable small silences that can mount near the swing arm on the curvy SV. Sorry if there is a...

Re: Hi from new member - I want to do a cafe racer

Fantastic read! I took a few hours to go through it yesterday. I laughed at his comment regarding the US riders huge garages and tool sets. My equivalent is a shed though I do have a bench, power...

Much appreciated; I love reading through and finding out how people did things. There are some really nice bits to this bike though I would have tried to mount the headlight closer...

Hi from new member - I want to do a cafe racer

Hi Everyone,

Just joined and will be lurking a bit as I am thinking of doing a cafe racer using the curvy SV as the base. So all the usual questions as I try to work out whether what I want to do...
