My Externally "customed" frankenstein of an SV650
LINK TO MY INSPIRATION IMAGES (Other peoples SV's) http://s731.photobucket.com/user/CLA...piration/story
LINK TO ALL MY IMAGES http://s731.photobucket.com/user/CLA...ifcation/story So chum... hiding somewhere in the darkest deepest well lit UK there is me armed with a spanner, wrench, screw driver, angle grinder (Very fun to use) and all sorts of other tools that make me feel manly.... creative... needed... strong... dependable... you get the idea. My first big bike was an SV650 2001 with high rise Dual Ixill pipes... loved the thing but I felt that I needed more... strangely enough my idea of more was an FJ1200 ... it was cheap and the SV was a naked... I wanted faired... I was so naive and swayed by cheap prices and by a bike that had a knob for a choke... I mean who wouldn't... After a few years I've owned a 1999 zx9r and currently a Cbr1000rr 07 and a Cbr600 f4i (Track)... I've returned to my SV650 roots.. I've bought my brothers old one but I decided to make it a little bit my own... Im not really a fan of the Curvy fairing so I figured that would have to go and to be honest the tail as well wasn't doing it for me. I love the tubular frame so I wanted that on show. Here is a picture... what have I done?

Re: My Externally "customed" frankenstein of an SV650
Can the tail slide down a bit more to meet the black triangle?

Re: My Externally "customed" frankenstein of an SV650
Unforunately no... The back triangle isn't attached properly so you have about 1 1/2 inch gap. Thinking of filling that section in although when its actually all together it doesn't look bad. Got to see how much the battery tray and the seat fill all the space in which I should know in the next few days. So close to being done other than paint job.
