Re: SVBMX Build Thread (99 SV650)
Really like the phone idea as a speedo. How is it in bright sunshine?

Re: SVBMX Build Thread
SRAD forks are going on tomorrow morning. Id like to mention that my step farth, Chris Tombleson (some of you may know as owner of "Grumpy 1260 Performance Spares" and previously "Straightline Racing + The Two Wheel Centre") has provided me with all the parts for the front end swap as well as the bike itself. So huge thanks to him.
Il be using his workshop (and his expertise) to fit the front end. Hopefully il get some photos on here by tomorrow evening providing all goes smoothly! Im hoping it does, im potentially having a ride out to Cadwell on sunday |

When I did the last one on my curvy, I used the special top bearing (TWF) and to take the headstock bearing cup out easier in the future, I cut a slot/groove where the race sits.

Re: SVBMX Build Thread
Its done The front end has been fitted. Was all pretty straight forward.
Heres some pics (well, a few i remembered to take!)... Farth getting the bike in place ready to start Front end off, new yokes on And here it is Super happy with it. We had to bodge my phone mount back on so i could ride it home! But ive decided to ditch the phone gps speedo idea (as well as it works) and ive gone ahead and purchased a KOSO DL-03SR Multifunction Gauge with the gps speedo sensor. So that'll be fitted as soon as it arrives Hope ya like |
