Should be ok, I'm old & I didn't have any problems with the SV. Anyhoo, here's another update. Today I have been fabricating brackets left right & centre to fit the seat unit & tail light.

Frame cut, bent & rewelded in the right position. My welding leaves a lot to be desired (It's been a while )


If you don't have a welding mask....... Dont try this at home children


Bracket welded on for the CBR600RR front seat. After welding it on I realised that I might have to move it because of the battery box, we'll see.


Dry fit, looks like quite nice


Couple of brackets to fit the rear to


3rd bracket for pillion seat to sit under


Couple of brackets fabricated for the seat catch to be mounted to & my welding is getting better


All brackets fitted.


Well, it's taken me a whole day, but I am really pleased with the results.




Tail light fitted

Nice one seems to be going well how do you figure out your brackets, card templates?

your welding mask is much better than the squinting method, nobody enjoys getting arc eye

bike looking lovely, more pictures please

I should do templates really, but it's a case of offer it up, cut it & hope for the best lol. I was lucky that my old boss dropped a load of galvanised wall hanger brackets off at my shop, so I have quite a good supply of 2 - 4mm steel plate

I knew one of my crashed crash helmets would come it handy 1 day

Completely stripped her today & have sprayed the frame, just hoping that it looks this good when it's dry.

Not too much done this past couple of days. The rebuild has started . I have fitted the CBR600RR rear shock. This is a "suck it & see" exercise" as it has been talked about, but never done, so I'll see when the engine is fitted.
I also need to touch up a few areas of the frame that I missed when spraying it, but shouldn't be too difficult.
