Hey guys,
I'm planning my first project on my SV650S and I have a few questions.
The project is mainly to turn my SV650S on a naked version, so, these are the plans:
1 - Front fairings will be removed
2 - New indicators
3 - Clutch and brake levers will be replaced with new ones
Those are the things that I can do kind of immediately as I have the parts.
And here is where it starts to get blurry for me...I want to take out the fairings, install a new headlight, install a new gauge cluster and handlebar conversion kit. You see...I'm not a mechanic and have never worked on motorbikes, my first time working on a motorbike was last week changing oil for this motorbike and it was quite successful (the bike didn't explode or turn into a big fire, plus the oil level is perfect).
For instruments I would like some suggestions, I was looking for some SV650N Gauge Clusters but couldn't find anything, I live in Ireland and looked on ebay but wasn't able to find anything for a SV650N only for the SV650S. If I can't find any used cluster, is there any other cluster I could use? I've seen the Vapor panel but I'm not sure if I feel comfortable needing to solder stuff.
About the headlight, I've seen a few LED Universal Headlights (like this one
https://amzn.eu/d/8yaobTj). Is there anything needed to this one? Apart from the original wiring from the SV650?
And finally the mod I'm more excited about, the Handlebar Conversion Kit. I only found it in 2 websites, one of them is louis.ie and the other one was an UK website, but being in Ireland means paying the product + taxes, and it'll be more expensive than buying from louis.ie. Do you think this is something I could do myself? I rang my local garage and they mentioned it would cost me around 300 euro + the kit to install it and, I rather spend 300 euro in other things for the bike if possible. Would it be something doable for someone that has little experience with motorbikes?
