My Increasingly Modified SV

Hey All,

Long time viewer-er but I thought I'd sign up to show of my lovely little 650.

Got her in August (I think, I'll check though) and I've been adding bits and bobs (and solving haunted house flickery lights).


Few Pics of her ebay shots.



Already got LED indicators and had a previous a/market end can (though original reattached at some point) so that's handy






In bits trying to sort out a dodgy indicator (thanks mr beepy horn behind for letting me know, that could have been messy) and a dodgy rectifier (thanks SV Forums for telling me it was that causing my dippy lights)

Also I think it might have had a different one anyway as it was quite small and all the wiring was custom, put a much bigger one back on and all was good nice bright(ish) lights again. It's amazing how much better it is at night when you can see!





With my new Beowulf Can fitted, sounds amazing by the way, real growler. Also on this pic I have a Carbon effect rear hugger (thankyou Pyramid plastics @ BMF Lincs) Osram Nightbreaker bulbs and lots of polishing.




When I got my Beowulf the "L" was hanging off so they very kindly sent me several sets of transfers to fix it. Didn't see the point in wasting them so I stuck them to my Forks and Yoke.







So this is my Bike as of December / January 2011 It's back in bits with cable spaghetti for my HIDS . ( I have in fact now got these fitted and functioning perfectly, the Ballast is hidden just above and to the rear of the grills on the fairing.

I'll get a picture of them fitted and draw on a diagram of wear I wired them if its any use to people

Also few things I've not mentioned so far that were done earlier in 2010 are:

Repainted Shock, Added Custom engraved heel plates, nice new tank pad (aren't old ones hell to get off!) Also added some soft Velcro so the tank and seat fairing because it kept squeaking.

Hope its interesting to somebody I'll keep updating this post with anything else I tweak

Great site btw I'm a web designer and computer repair guy by trade so I'm sure I'll give SV members a discount on here sooner or later.

Looking good, I am sure that at some point some one will make a disparaging remark about it only being a curvy though!

Keep up the good work.

It was pretty good value, I sold my Marauder 125 for £1350 and bought my 99 SV for £830 (20k), also first big bike so it makes sense for it to be a bit older and less valuable. Think I might have to add a 2K Busa next year sometime if I have the money and space. Fallen for its ugly charms, couldn't let my SV go though.

Looks like a very tidy bike for that kind of money.

Keep posting the updates - it's always interesting to see what folk have done to their bikes.
