Default New SV...

After 5 years on the SV forum, and an epic final couple of days, Anna's former bike is now back on the road, taxed and MOT'd.

Cheers for everyone's help on this, Rictus has supplied parts and help and was up with me and Benji till just after midnight last night getting her prepped for the MOT including drilling holes in the can to fit a baffle lent by Grinch. Sarj & Empty have been frequent visitors, helpers and suppliers of parts too. Several others have patiently explained how to line up cams and un-stick cam chains (Sid Squid), as well as lending tools, parts and a patient ear. It would have taken me far longer, and cost far more without you lovely lot.

And you know what, even though I had no time to clean the brake fluid, oil and grease off the tyres so was taking it easy, she felt pretty good this morning on the way in...

Not bad as when I last saw it there was rather alot of parts laying about.

Yes, there was rather a lot of straining on that, it's not "straight" but it's close enough

The garage looks like a small explosive charge was let off at the bottom of a box of tools, bolts and electrical cables. The SV slept outside last night, damn I need to tidy up in there...

Skip: yes, Anna's AR07 bike. Colour's nice but every panel's damaged in some way. At some point when I've got money and / or time I may try my hand at spraying.
