Default Gsvxr-650r

Hello again from Bulgaria

First, of course, I want to excuse for my english - not so well at all, especially in terminology.
Than I want to introduce my future project to you....
As the title says - SV650+GSXR+R = "GSVXR-650R"

- Complete front end from "GSXR-600/750" K5 (forks, triple trees, clip-ons, brake calipers, switches, steering damper, front wheel).
- Headlight and headlight fairing from "GSXR-1000" K6 (would be modified a little, because is too wide and don't look so well to me).
- Front/rear racing hoses from "Goodridge".
- Wave front/rear brake discs from..... China (I know, I know - let me try).
- HH Sintered brake pads from "EBC".
- Rear brake caliper from "GSXR-1000" K4 - IF successfully modified.
- Rear wheel from "GSXR-600" K5.
- Rear shock absorber from "GSXR-600" K5 (or some "Ohlins" if I can luckily buy one from Ebay under £200).
- Front/rear sprockets with DID gold chain.
- Adjustable rearsets, but not nessesary for "SV" - I'll make mounting brackets anyway.
- Adjustable levers.
- Speedo sensor from "GSXR" on the front sprocket.
- K&N Air filter.
- Steering damper "Ohlins", to replace the original.
- "GSXR" carbon fiber front mudguard - yesterday bought one from Ebay.
- "SV" rear mud guard with chain guard - I'll try to find out this in carbon fibre too.
- Belly pan.
- Seat cowl.
- Frame crash protectors with spindel through the frame and engine.
- Crash protectors for front and rear axle.
- LED turn indicators.
- Eventualy.... "Scottoiler".
- Powder coating the frame, swing arm and wheels in black.
- The color of the bike will be black too (metallic or mat) with gold forks, gold brake calipers, gold levers and gold rearsets.

Of course, I'll forgot something now, but will add in progress.

Last weekend I made the bike totaly naked, and from this....


...became to this.


As friend of mine says "There's no difference - it's naked anyway!"

So, here is my homework for next weekend - clean and service front end and rear shock.




NOW, of course, i need some help to do all this stuff....
- Is there any problem with powder coating the frame, swing arm and wheels? I know that powder coating heats the aluminium over 200 degreese Celsius.
Or just paint them with (acrylic-some-thing) paint?
- Same question is about forks and brake calipers? Honestly I don't like gold realy. If it's possibly I'll make them black too.
- And THE most serious question here - can i replace the "SV" swing arm with "Ducati 748/916" single side swing arm?
I know that Triumph/RC30 single side swing arm fits to the Curvy, but to Pointy?
I found some awesome threads in SVRider and TLZone but there is nothing for Pointy... or i can't find it.
- Just wondering, is there any sense of AirBox modifications with K&N air filter and iridium spark plugs, but without nothing else?

I have some more questions, but they are not important in this time...

Thanks a lot for patience and thanks in advance for hepling me to make one different bike

Good question, the mods I have seen are with a VFR750 swingarm, don't think I have seen one with a 748/916 Swingarm(though I have seen someone use a Ducati wheel), the best thing to do is to search for Tygaboy on SVrider, he has a thread to walk through the Single sided Swingarm I think.

Hi,

1. No problem powder coating the wheels, swing arm or frame, but you must remove all the bearings and make sure no powder coat gets into the bearing housings, otherwise you'll have a hard job getting them back in! A decent powder coater will mask or plug the holes where the bearing go, but it gets everywhere.

2. Front fork legs are ok to powder coat ass well, as are the calipers, but you'll need to be extra careful with the calipers and take them apart and remove the pistons & seals and other parts. So it might be easier to paint them. There is a thread on Svrider about painting calipers.

Don't bother with iridium spark plugs and K&N is ok, but a BMC filter is better

Can't help you with the single sided swingarm question though

Here's my swingarm in silver chrome powder coat

You have forgot to mention anything about exhaust system, you need a decent system if your doing all this other work to the bike, you will get better results with a different air filter and exhaust rather than just changing air filter, although some would suggest a BMC race air filter is better than a K&N filter.

O'k, I'll keep searching for single side swing arm threads.
Until than i have a lot of work to do with the bike - frame, wheels, front end, calipers....
I don't forgot the exhaust, just need to decide what to do with the swing arm and than will think about exhaust
At this moment the exhaust is something like "custom", it SOUNDs good, but is not so well made and it's look ugly unfinished - I need to grind it and paint it.... IF finaly stays on the bike.

Thanks a lot guys

I'm interested to see how you get on with the speedo driving off the front sprocket. Do you have any info on this yet? I want to do this on mine.

Just one thing - the rear brakes on an SV are really good, so you might be better off retaining the SV caliper. My dad says his rear brake on his K6 GSXR750 is a bit crap.

Any chance of that article in English? Is that in Danish? I'll put it through a translator and see what comes out.
