SDC also make a subframe to fit the CBR1000RR seat unit on the curvy SV which they retail at 160 quid but they do stick up in the air a bit.

Fantastic, cheers for the info. Just trying to work out ideas for my bike but that's another thread!

Few more pics better picture from the front

Here is the dash which I need to put a oil pressure light into.

Note the HRC front res that needs cutting down to size

Rear Subframe

Lockstop bar incorporated into front subframe

Fusebox connected to Left hand side of frame and Reg / Rec on right hand side of frame and the main solenoid and battery moved to lower right hand side.

And lastly some of the exhaust

Hmmm, having thrown it down the road[1] on the left that looks a little vulnerable in a spill, now OK the crash bung broke off[2] but see the frame scuffage?

[1] Well, track, gooseneck@cadwell in 2006.
[2] Old style R&G's, worked find for the first crash, the second crash on the left (and possibly the kerb) ripped it out.

Yes I've looked at it but I'm thinking that if I extend the crashbung it will just make it weaker in a spill, to be honest its a trackbike so I dont mind a scuffed frame but I dont want a bent frame. Also my crashbung is further forward that the R+G ones that were on yours

Er no, those are the _new_ style ones, my point wasn't to extend the crash bung ore preventing frame scuffage but that IMO you run a risk of squashing your electrics in a spill.

This is how the old bungs fitted btw (or rather the remains).



And how they were on the bike
