First Bike Rebuild - Which one? - Page 2 - SV650.org

I'm looking at doing this => www.beastrun.com and using Badger's Honda Melody to do it on.

You should buy the one on eBay and come with me!

Yes, yes, that's the spirit.

And just think with a basket on the front you'll be able to recreate that scene from ET.

A bike bench is a god send if your rebuilding a full bike.

Here is one I made earlier cost about £30

Excuse all the crap on it I was making some space on the other side of the garage.

It also actually makes space as I usually have a generator and spare wheels and tyres stored underneath but at the moment its full of SV parts

A mention in Idle Banter by a certain Nobbylad reminded me of what I had posted.

Well I kind of made some progress but not quite up to Hardhat Harry's standard yet. More in line with what Squirrel Hunter said.

Well here it is. It doesn't work, I will make it work!

I will be Idle Biker no longer, I will be known as Mechanical Biker before you know it.

I see you've got your workshop set up correctly...

Pliers? Check.
Screwdriver? Check.
Ratchet? Check.
Strongbow? Check.

I've just done a Cagiva Planet, quite easy, and the 125 market always laps up a good 2-stroke!

I'd say either a Mito or RS.

I must say that this is a great idea, something I will do when I move out and have my own garage, as my dad has my SV1000 SK3 bucked out onto the driveway to make room for his 1967 Austin 1100... that doesn't work!!

I love the wee mini moto, great place to start

Picture thread of all the engines insides?

Organised mess just the way you like it? Check.
Liberated kitchen cupboard with something in front of it making it hard to reach? Check.
