What to do to my bike...? - SV650.org

LewSpeight · 22-03-13, 10:27 AM

So, I had planned to ride my bike today, all day.
As a result of this great weather the UK seems to be getting alately, that now isn't an option.
So what can I do to my bike? Nothing majorly messy, and I'm not all the mechanically sound on the Sv yet. But I want to tidy my bike up abit.

Any ideas?

Already have the tail tidy, and stubby levers, it's a nekkid so no screen for me

(even though I would love to convert it a faired one)
I'm looking into a new can, cos the carbon fibre one on at the minute looks shagged.
Thanks for the input though!
Any ideas on what little subtle things that could be done today whilst I have the day off? I was thinking of properly washing it but that's not an option because looking this weather and my commute tomorrow will make it look like a shipwreck again

Cool, no worries

Not that you could do it today but the chain guards from pyramid plastics look quite smart, worth a look

Like you said not really worth a full clean/polish as you are off into the sh*t weather again tomorrow!

new grips

TODAY! Haha.
I need something to do today, not really bothered about putting new bits on, maybe just some general maintenance or something. I'm even considering sticker bombing half of it, that's how bored I really am

Get plenty of ACF50 and apply it liberally.
When ( if ) the snow goes, there'll be stacks of salt until the monsoons arrive and you dont want it going rusty do you?
