Im back on an Sv! - SV650.org

Degener8 · 17-10-15, 06:12 PM

Picked up the new hog today!! Feels great being back on a Twin sounds so awesome.

My primary is a Daytona 675, but I have genuinely missed these bikes since I sold the K5 I had years ago.

41 views and not one single reply.. Didn't want to believe it but this forum has truly died. Massive shame because this used to be so vibrant and a great community to be a part of.

I wish I could have held on to my curvy

That looks mint and that's just want I want to do to my curvey s. What clock is that ?

It just needs a double bubble screen now to keep the worst of the wind off.

That's the smartest curvy I've seen (not seen many) but what's going on with the lower legs of the forks?

I thought a screen of sorts but its going to be used for a 20 mile round trip so shouldn't be so bad

Salt corrosion I'm guessing, I plan on replacing them with the black fork legs if I can, they look identical to the pointy ones?

The front mudguard mount is in a different position to my SK6 pointy which has the mount much further down the leg. I'm no expert but there are lots of fork swap options (from gsxr's) so I'd head down that route rather than fix/repair/buy a fork that is not rated.
