Latest edition to the dirtydog garage... - SV650.org

picking this "little" beauty up next weekend

it has got some bits missing the rear shocks being the most obvious but I've got plenty of time to get it all sorted as Libby isn't even 4 yet!

Will start with a strip down and get the frame etc powder coated then a general tidy up and make sure everything is all working as it should

yes you said, neat little project, never to young to get them started.....

Cheers Mark.

Nice!

Bets on you go rampaging on it?

dirtydog · 14-10-12, 07:01 PM

Well obviously I'll need to test ride it once its done

not sure if rampaging is the right word though

squirrel_hunter · 14-10-12, 07:27 PM

Awesome. You going to make it road legal?

You have to have the proper Yamaha speedblocks painted on it.

Super, lucky Libby

She wants it pink or black and pink!

You can still do the Speedblocks

Here's Libby trying it out as soon as I got it out of the car boot!

She can just about reach the floor without the rear shocks fitted, so I've definitely got a bit of time to give it a thorough checking over and maybe get the frame powdercoated and new bearings etc as its been sat in a garage for a fair few years.
Curiously I found out this afternoon the forks dont have oil in them and the right hand (as you sit on the bike) fork takes care of the rebound and the left deals with the compression

You can be my Dad too if you like?
