3 weeks and crashed!:(

Just been out tinkering, I ordered one of those brake levers yesterday, cheers. Just had a better look at the bike as the weather's nice.

I'm also bidding on a tank at the moment.

Took the faring off, it's in a worse state than I thought, not a disaster, but it is cracked a little and one of the mounts is squished. Might need to get another... I'm struggling to find one, am I missing the point, or should I be looking for an alternative styled faring kit to fit..(some of them look sooo beautiful) There's a lack of replica or indeed original sv650s K2 curvy front ends out there? (I'm after the right hand side) in blue ideally.

I also need a set of tyres, and the front wheel checking out along with the fork, although from what I can tell (without riding it) everything seems to be okay. It even starts, and nothing leaks!

thanks for the help so far... Much appreciated.

As I said, go up to PSG, he can make practically any damaged bodywork look like new.

Will give them a shout once i'm mobile again.. Need to let this collar bone heal a bit more before venturing in the car!

Are they still trading? -I'm just looking them up and the website seems to be down?

I went round after my off in February...bikini fairing and LHS fairing were completely fooked. I actually managed to get some off eBay, however I went to see PSG and was really impressed by the work that he had done/was in the process of doing.

They're not far from MTC exhausts either, so if you're up this end, you could bag a decent can too!

Depending whereabouts you are in Liverpool, I could run you down there if you wanted.

I'll find my way up there once i've got some pennies! - Not being in work due to a broken collarbone has it's financial implications too! :P
Cheers for the offer though, Appreciated!

No worries, I think the guy who runs it is called Paul, he was just putting the finishing touches to a track bike he was about to start racing and he had quite a few bikes there that he was working on. Spent a fair amount of time talking me through some of the work he was done and advising me on the best way to approach my repairs so seemed like a good bloke.

I've taken the faring off, so will take a trip up to the paint-shop when i can and see what they reckon. Thanks for the help so far.. It's been great.

I'm just left with one tiny challenge..

Got all the bits I need so far (as far as i can tell) - Just in need of a new indicator. The bike has flush-mount faring indicators (non-standard I think???) that a previous owner has fitted. I can't seem to source a replacment that matches, and is the same blue (or a close match).. (pic earlier up the thread)

Has anyone else tinkered and changed their indicators out? - I'm up for swapping the pair, was just after a nice match/recommendation.

Cheers team!

Deano.

I used bikeit mini arrow led indicators (for led indicators you'll need a flasher unit - they're cheap though, shop gave me mine free infact) look good. Althoguh would appreciate feedback from other forummers as to whether they're actually visible.

Hi, I'm after something flush-mount to go on the front faring, as it's already been retro-fitted once, I can't afford to get something smaller as I'll end up leaving a load (more ) holes in the faring.

I can get similar products online, but only in black... given they're only about £13, I may just get them and spray them up in blue to match....

Stupid Question: - Do they usually come in pairs? - I can't seem to figure it out?

Cheers,
Deano.

[Dave20046]

yeah they generally do come in pairs (never seen em sold singley!) Either pairs or full sets (4).


PS Check the legality of flush mounts (if it bothers you).
