Default My k4 naked project

Hi all,

I have been in the process of making some big changes to my k4 naked over the last few months and have had some very helpful information from fellow orgers to help me along. And I thought I would post some before/after pictures of the SV and help anyone that may be attempting the modifications themselves as I was helped with mine.

I bought the Sv off fellow org member bbadger back in February. One thing I always wanted to do to my previous SV's was a GSXR front end conversion. I have owned a 1999 naked curvy and a K5 Sv sport previously but unfortunately never got round to doing the mods.

Here are some pictures of the bike as it was when I bought it.








As you would agree it was a good looking bike before and had some very tasteful mods done to it by its previous owners.



Here are some pictures taken today after the work I have completed do far.















I'm a really happy with the result of what I have done with the SV but of course I am very biased lol.

Please post your opinions and questions.

Here is a list of bits that are on there:

K6 GSXR 750 front forks
K6 GSXR 750 bottom yoke powder coated black
SV 1000 front wheel and discs powder coated black
K5 GSXR 1000 front callipers
K5 GSXR 1000 front radial master cylinder
Custom machined top yoke made from billet aluminium so that I can mount standard SV clocks etc...
Renthal fat bar conversion consisting of handlebars and Renthal risers
Short pazzo type brake levers
Hesa fire headlight
Aluminium headlight brackets powder coated black
Hein Gerike hook led indicators front and rear
HEL performance red braided brake lines front and rear
Pro bolt engine kit and master cylinder cap
Standard rear wheel powder coated black
Black smoked rear light


Mods to be done:
GSXR rear shock which is on order
And a lazer xtreme gp exhaust,

Like this



I am currently fabricating a new link pipe as this is for a GSXR and won't fit yet.

Few other little bits to tidy it up too.

What's your thoughts guys and girls?

Cheers for reading though.
Alex

Hi Al,

I got a GSXR speedo sensor and fabricated a bracket to fit on the left hand fork leg mudguard mounts. Then I got four magnets and mounted them with JB weld to the disk rivets.

It took abut of tweaking to get it right but it works in the end
