Another custom SV

Not my cuppa tea but I can appreciate the work that's gone into this. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

Re: Another custom SV
I really like everything about that except the frame and engine. That stance with an inline four in a steel frame would look pretty cool.
Curvy frame’s too pretty for that treatment Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Another custom SV
I looks well done and I see some things I thought of doing but dismissed manly the air intake in front of the oil filter (it makes the bike look more balanced less chinless) although this one doesn't flow with the lines.
I might be biased but I like mine much better. Having said that I like seeing bikes others have created. |

Re: Another custom SV
I really like the tank/seat/tail. Can't tell what's happening with the black part on the bottom of it though. Looks a bit half-arsed

Re: Another custom SV
I like it tbh, kind of has some 'Buell' about it. The SV frame doesn't lend itself well to 'cafe racers' or the like but imo it works well with this build. Granted... not everyone's cuppa tea but like it or loathe it ... you have to admire the work that's gone in to it. I wouldn't be embarrassed riding it.

Re: Another custom SV
Looks funky but not practical - no mudguards, no chain guard, plank seat. Belly pan good though.
Don't motorbikes need to be designed for riding in the real world as well as looking good?! |
