Smile ClayMoto Custom SV650

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new here. I've been lurking around for some time now, accessing the collective knowledge here, for which I'm eternally grateful! Now my custom SV is done I thought I was about time I said hey, and show you what I've made...



A little bit of background for you here:

I've worked in motorcycle design for a couple of years, and clay modelling for the car/motorcycle industry for about 12 years. I've wanted to do my own bike build for some time now, and when my wife passed her bike license, I fixed up a damaged '08 SV650 (ABS model) for her, and discovered myself actually what an awesome little bike the SV is! What makes it an absolutely perfect candidate for the kind of build I had in mind is that it's a great engine/chassis package, but (please forgive my blasphemy here in the church of SV) the looks are rather outdated...

There's a whole build story on my website www.claymoto.com and loads of photos, but just to give you a taste, here's some photos from along the way...


















And here's some of the bike in it's finished state...

She's a beauty! As I mentioned on SVRider, it's a pity you couldn't keep the Supertrapp on it as it looks even better with it, but needs must ...
