Project SV - most recent updates...and a carbon SV tank!
Hi all,
Some of you may have seen my project SV in the past but it's just been freshened up: new bodywork, powdercoat and paint. Have a look... http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...hreadid=173852 Also, I've documented and posted the process of how I built a carbon fiber SV gas tank. If any of you are interested in composites, you may enjoy this. It's a bit lengthy but there's lots of detail. This is not the tank that's on my project SV, but it was done exactly the same way. http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...hreadid=145975 Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Ride safely, Chris |

Oh my god... That is brilliant! Wow... I am so jealous! Although... It's still a curvy at heart.
 Just kidding mate, I love it!! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Congratulations, be very happy with it.What are all the parts included? I read that you started with the MV tail and it spiraled from there, what are the main changes? Mitch

Yum yum.
A curvy pointy hybrid. Dare we call it a pervy?
