Looking at converting a naked to a S
Hi all,
I've been racing minitwins for a couple of years now and have managed to accumulate a load of old road spares, mostly from my old K4 road bike, and it got me thinking. Could I buy a really cheap Cat C or D damaged sv650 naked (probably either a k3, k4, k5, or k6) and chuck my old road 'S' bits on it. I've got spare yokes, clip ons, forks, front bikini fairing with lights/electrics/indicators, front fairing mounts etc. etc. and from what I can tell, there's not a lot that's changed. A couple of unknowns though: - will the electrics from the S just swap over and plug in? - will the steering stem just swap over too? - I think there's a difference in rake on the 'S' version - is this just a case of replacing the top and bttom yokes? - any other problems with the idea? Any advice would be great, Cheers, Dave |

Yes you can swap the electrics.
Steering stem is same. Rake comes from the headstock (all SV yokes are parallel stem and bore) so no change.

Re: Looking at converting a naked to a S
Can I use a naked steering stem with a 's' top and bottom yoke?

Why? Naked is the only way to be!
