Work on my bike - for cake. - SV650.org

Littlepeahead · 30-03-13, 06:38 PM

I bought my SV new in March 08.

Haven't ridden it much in the last 18 months due to requiring the removal of a Haglunds deformity and Achilles debridement. That's the medical term for a knackered heel. Plus I bought a GS while my foot got better.

Now I feel like I need to fall back in love with my SV but it probably needs an overhaul.

Got a tail tidy and hugger waiting to be fitted so that's the cosmetic stuff. It's more what I can upgrade to make the bike feel better. Front end is all original. It clunks over potholes and brakes feel rubbish after the GS.

So what do you suggest, and anyone fancy helping my with it? Payment in cakes, obviously.

Sell it to me for cheap and I'll look after it for life

The seat will castrate you Josh. It's not for male use .... especially males over 3'2".

If you come over to the GM, we will eat the cakes and watch you mess about with your bike if you like

That is my special small person seat. I also have the standard red seat. I just didn't let Si know that.

Sell the midget seat to Biblo

I think he needs an even lower one

Littlepeahead · 30-03-13, 08:40 PM

He can try my GS. Low seat factory lowered. But I don't have short legs. I have to buy 32" jeans or they are too short.

Who edited my title?

Debrix emulators - someone is sorting a group buy?
