Re: SVBMX Build Thread
Not much of an update...
Went out locally to attempt to get better photos of the bike. They aren't too bad. Good locations nearby are hard to come by, really need to travel a little further, perhaps hit the coast road and see what i can find. I'm currently on the hunt for a bandit 1200 rear wheel to run the 180 tyre. I'm told that there's a sprocket carrier from another wheel (the old man knows which!) that fits, which is already a reduced depth so little machining is required. Then its just making some axle adapters/spacers, and acquiring a new sprocket. This will be happening as soon as the weather starts to turn! Can't be having the bike off the road whilst the weathers so nice at the mo

Re: SVBMX Build Thread
Looking great, really nice colour and subtle mods.
Why do you need another rear wheel? I'd say get some good tyres on that bad boy and find the edges. The 180 will give you some extra options for sure but is this for cosmetics or performance/practicality? |

Re: SVBMX Build Thread
You can use 5.5inch GSXR wheels, just need to change the bearing sizes, new bearing centre spacer (steel tube), bit of machining of the caliper carrier and then spacers to get your chain alignment spot on. There's probably heaps of different ways to do it but gixxer wheels may be more readily available than bandit ones?

Re: SVBMX Build Thread
Looks good, one thing that would really annoy me on such a nice bike though is the state of the adjuster and nut on the rear needs to be clean and shiny on such a tidy bike.

Yeah theres actually loads of scrappy bits about the bike that need sorting. The plan is to fully strip the bike down this winter.. have the frame, swingarm and engine fully stripped and repainted with all fresh nuts/bolt etc.

Re: SVBMX Build Thread
how about turning the seat cowl upside down and a bit of fibre work, just adds a bit of colour.. excuse the photo work as i'm pants at it but you get the idea.

Ive considered this kinda thing... Perhaps incorporated into the exhaust. I've measured up and done a few cad drawings but no further than that yet. Also depends if I'm gonna work around the stock exhaust or make a new front section to work with.. whatever you might call it!!
