DONE! Boo86's mini-twin racer is now road legal! - SV650.org

23-06-09, 03:30 PM

All sorted. I got the MOT Friday. It's all road legal now. My racer is on the road for less than £100 !! But most importantly I only added ~3kg of lights, horn, etc...... so she handels as well as ever.
See Avatar for before pic and attached pics for the finished project.

I love the back end but am not too happy with the front. The headlight was only £30 off ebay so I may change it to some-thing better looking. It's nice and light though.

back end does look good, front end looks like you'll only be riding in the daytime...

you do know I suppose that healight is from a trials bike and is hopeless to light your way, but nice cheap job that.

cheers Mark.

Could be wrong but don't you need a chain guard?

What mods are done to an SV to make it a mini twin anyway?

It's fully E marked, has dipped, driving and main beam. It's puts out a supprisingly large amount of light.

Only if you have "pillion provisions"

A mini-twin ? just standard race stuff. Lockwire a few things. A catch tank undertray that'll hold all the engine fluids etc etc etc....

My mini-twin ? Many many things......
