Having the ignition switch down there is quite cool, theifs wont look for it there if they want to hotwire the bike. What about having a steering lock though?

The other thing I'd be personally worried about is if you get caught out in a rainstorm, and the water would get there a little easier. Maybe make up some sort of deflector plate to keep the worst of the wet off?

Looking good though!

Ahem! Of course, it's been done before you know........



Works very well there and keeps it out of the way of spray and rain more than the standard location. the barrel is secured well and the key will not fall out so dont worry about that, and I'd say it would be really difficult to even attempt to hit it with your knee at standstill. After a few days I got used to it not being up on the yoke, fob flapping in my periforal vision.

Oh, and it confuses EVERYONE else, first time they see the top yoke or sit on the bike! I have no steering lock, but I never used it anyway so no loss.

Hi guyes,
last week I receive a full set of piston and dust seals for front/rear brake calipers. I also receive a full set of brake pads


All assemble with front brake master cylinder.


Because the rear brake line is from "GSXR"-kit, I still didn't figure that out


I took my gas-tank from dyer, needs only fine grind and ready for paint.

It's almost finished, just need to clean-up

It's a joke, of course - I'm still waiting some small parts from Ebay....... 62 days....

Now I found it the SVRider, that my major problem will be the rear wheel!
It's from "GSXR-600/750" K4-K5 and it's hard to put in the SV swingarm
