My Curvy 650SY - Then and now - SV650.org

19-03-12, 04:53 PM

Hi all,

New to the forum and to an SV.

Brought my SV for a reasonable price last week. Service wise it had been looked after well, but body wise it was a terrible mess

.

So I changed the colour and cleaned everything up.

As it was delivered:

Stripped down:

Finished of with lower fairings and new decals:

Would be lovely if it hadnt crashed into a sticker factory

Liking the lowers, SV looks to suit being completely faired like that (even though I like 'em naked). Think you've gone overboard on the sticker front though but personal taste and all that. Can't see anyone stuck for figuring out what model bike it is now that's for sure

How much did the swap cost ya in total (minus the cost of the gazillion stickers

)

like the colour..wow thats pretty fast work in a week.. did you consider getting the frame done in black too?

Is it a suzuki?

Is it just the light or did you paint the brake discs?

First off, Welcome the forum!

Now bike stuffs...
At first glance I thought you'd just sprayed the plastics but you've gone the whole 9 on that!
Looks good (for a curvy) although it does look like you've over sprayed and done the braking surface of the disc. Unwise, get it wire wooled off ASAP.

I thought about it, but the frame would have ideally needed powdercoating - bit beyound me. The silver frame does stand out - I'll have to live with it for now and have it painted at a later date if I can't get on with it.

Cheers
