My k4 SV650 project

Hi all,

I have been in the process of making some big changes to my k4 naked over the last few months and have had some very helpful information from fellow orgers to help me along. And I thought I would post some before/after pictures of the SV and help anyone that may be attempting the modifications themselves as I was helped with mine.

I bought the Sv off fellow org member bbadger back in February. One thing I always wanted to do to my previous SV's was a GSXR front end conversion. I have owned a 1999 naked curvy and a K5 Sv sport previously but unfortunately never got round to doing the mods.

Here are some pictures of the bike as it was when I bought it.








As you would agree it was a good looking bike before and had some very tasteful mods done to it by its previous owners.



Here are some pictures taken today after the work I have completed do far.















I'm a really happy with the result of what I have done with the SV but of course I am very biased lol.

Please post your opinions and questions.

Here is a list of bits that are on there:

K6 GSXR 750 front forks
K6 GSXR 750 bottom yoke powder coated black
SV 1000 front wheel and discs powder coated black
K5 GSXR 1000 front callipers
K5 GSXR 1000 front radial master cylinder
Custom machined top yoke made from billet aluminium so that I can mount standard SV clocks etc...
Renthal fat bar conversion consisting of handlebars and Renthal risers
Short pazzo type brake levers
Hesa fire headlight
Aluminium headlight brackets powder coated black
Hein Gerike hook led indicators front and rear
HEL performance red braided brake lines front and rear
Pro bolt engine kit and master cylinder cap
Standard rear wheel powder coated black
Black smoked rear light


Mods to be done:
GSXR rear shock which is on order
And a lazer xtreme gp exhaust,

Like this



I am currently fabricating a new link pipe as this is for a GSXR and won't fit yet.

Few other little bits to tidy it up too.

What's your thoughts guys and girls?

Cheers for reading though.

Hi Dave,

I got the top yoke from Graeme who is a forum member on here. His user name is gjscott.

He is over the pond in America so had to wait a while for delivery but it was well worth it. If anyone is doing a GSXR conversion I would recommend this because it gives the bike a factory look like it was ment to be like that. All the clocks and ignition barrel fit perfectly.

On another note, any sign of the disc bolts yet?

Very nice.

Is that a blue flame exhaust on it at the moment? Will you be looking to sell it when you have completed the new exhaust?

Its not actually a blue flame exhaust. I used to have a blue flame exhaust on my curvy and when it got damaged I kept the badge and just rivetted it on to this exhaust.

I don't know who makes the exhaust that is on there, it is a stubby can tho and it looks and sounds pretty good.

I'm not sure what I am doing with it yet but if I do decide to sell it I will let you know first.
