My Externally "customed" frankenstein of an SV650

[CLARKYsv]

Going off to get brackets made .. All be noice and toit on her return

[Redmist]

Looks decent so far!

Where did you source the silicone coolant pipes?

I've got a set coming from Asia as a bit of a gamble!

This is a very promising build, I am liking your work. The B/W pic of your bike behind the wall is brill, very arty.

Keep up the good work, this should look great when finished.

Thank you

Well I am a photographer so hope to get some nice ones of it when its all completed

Its at my friends now. He's making the brackets so it will be away from me for a couple of weeks.

He is...

1. Adjusting tank bracket
2. Attaching pillion subframe to stock subframe
3. Making steering stops on to the SV650 Pointy fairing stay
4. Making Nose fairing brackets
5. Grinding down rear caliper bolts (Required due to wheel swap)
6. Drilling and threading the swingarm to accept R6 Rear fender
7. Making Rear exhaust brackets (Most likely extend from pillion mounts)



Once I have it back I'll be tidying up all the wiring, Wiring in Vapor clocks, adding tank spacers, LED indicator relay. Carb balance + Mixture, Sand/Paint nose sextion, belly pan section and Tail section. Starting her up and off to MOT

This is the planned Colour Scheme... will have a belly pan as well and of course some red rim tape to colour the bottom section as the wheels are very black as they are... Vapor Clocks arrived to. Nice and simple which is nice, not very busy. So I shall get myself acquainted with them whilst the sv is away.

Should look quite tidy like that

Is there a reason for the tank cover?

Hopefully it will come out well... Tank cover is made by bagster. It will protect the tank and also allow my tank bag to connect to it. At the moment though it is just there keeping the red minimalistic haha.

I may put black stomp grips on the tank and sell the cover altogether. I was thinking the cover might help to protect the tank a little more on track days too although I have contacted the aftermarket fairing companies on ebay to see if they sell the plastic tank covers seperate and they do (Horahh) ... £130 posted... so its something to bare in mind I guess.
