Repairing my SV - Bringing it back to life

Time to finally repair my beloved SV after this (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=137977)

Er6 is dead and can't pass an MOT without a fair bit of work. Over the last year I've managed to pick up most of the items that I need to get my SV back on the road.

This is what its doing at the moment












So as you can tell, piledrived into the back of a car, bike fell onto the left.

This is the list of all the things I need. The ones in bold I already have.

RH Fork Leg, LH Fork Leg
Lower Yoke and Spindle
Head stock bearing Front Wheel & bearings (not yellow sadly!)
Head Lamp
Top Cowl Stay
LH Mirror
Header Pipes
Header Pipes Gasket
LHF Foot Rest
LHF Bank Sensor
Fairings
LHF Foot Rest Hanger
Gear Change Pedal
Battery? (Will optimate recharge a battery sitting in the cold since August 09?)
Crash bungs

Is there a cheapish way of making that wheel a similar yellow to the rear? Doing it now makes more sense if I was to do it eventually anyway.

I know zero about bike repairing basically. Wouldn't have a clue. Would any orger with the right tools/time/expertise be awesome enough to help me out? It's not exactly a piece of cake (probs) so would happily pay £150 for the time involved and drinks. It would probably be late November if it's a weekend jobby, perhaps sooner if on a week day.

The bike is in that private residential garage pictured, located not too far from London Bridge. I live a few minutes away and all the stuff I have is in my flat. The only thing is that bikes not going anywhere. It can't even be wheeled. It's a useful garage though considering its central London.

Anyway, just need the hanger and gear change pedal and I should be all sorted.

Feel free to drop me a PM anyone if you're interested.

Can't wait to get back on the SV. I miss it loads and it's a superb bike.

looking at it the hardest thing will be the new bearing in and out otherwise most of it is just unbolt and re-bolt. Dunno about the battery recharging might do it depends on how good it was before your bump.

if i had a car for tools then i could come and do it for you, but unfortunately atm i dont :/

Don't they have backpacks in Warwichshire?

True, true, it is a curvy.

I agree with thefallenangel, most of that is simply unbolt, replace and bolt on.
the hardest part will be the yokes and forkes, of which i've no idea how to fit so cant help you there sorry.
maybe you could contact a good garage (not the one your mot was done at for the kawak) and they will collect bike, parts and fit, mot and get everyhting running for you if you cant find anyone able to lend a hand.

I am not far away and could probably give you a hand if Im free when you do it. Not got the greatest collection of tools here though, most are at my parents, so I have a decent socket set, screwdrivers etc. but no torque wrench or abba stand.

head stock bearings.... id want my abba stand and a jack under the front

...or some bricks from the back garden and someone sitting on the pillion seat.

or even just propped up on the bricks/flowerpots/a bin/wood/anything handy and using the rear wheel and the side stand.

Magiver would laugh at you!
