Anyone made a SV naked from a SV-S
 

I am playing with the idea of making a naked from my SV 650 S - K3.
Anyone done this yet??
I was thinking of putting a touring kit on the forks instead of the clipons and a GSX-R headlight. But what about the speedo unit? I don't think I can keep my original of my S-version.

Any ideas or pictures?

Been thinking along those lines myself, but it might just be easier to sell the S and buy a naked instead, having taken into account the cost of the work involved.

A new headlight from the GSX-R is around 140€ as seen on Ebay. But I am sure you could go cheaper with a second handed.
The handelbar touring kit is about 260€ on Ebay.
With the speedo unit I do not really know.

Wow, the piccie of the sv with the gsxr headlight is awesome. The mods are realistic but i am really liking it. I think the speedo on the faired and unfaired are the same unit just that the fairing is built around it.

Any one know where i can get some more piccies of the gsxr headlight conversion from as im seriously thinking of ditching my curvy faired for a naked pointy and swapping the headlight.

Thanks

You'll also need a new clutch cable switch gear cables and throttle cables. The S cables are all shorter as they do not have as far to travel to the handlebars.

Oh and you'll also need either a new top yoke for a naked or drill through the yoke for the handlebar risers.

I have a naked where can I get a headlight conversion done and whats it going to cost??? I live in essex

The man ,,Big Ape'' is right. You will need new cables and a new top yoke. A project of money seems to me. But with the conversion you can also sell the bits of the fairing.

If you already have a naked and you want a GSX-R headlight you could better do it yourself. It only needs new brackets and a minor adjustement to fit the headlight cables.

good opportunity to add some bling,

although this is for a Triumph the gold yoke is off a daytona (drilled with risers) and the silver the original from a speedtriple.

Cheers Mark.

I'm converting my Curvy... to a N. When the cash turns up... but then I've gone on about it enough I expect everyone already knows that.

At the moment I have the Rental bars, yokes, and Rad cover. Just need to get the logger clutch, switches, throttle and brake lines, might get away with the ones I have as they are rather long after market ones.

Your Avatar :!:
It's just a bit of gossip and I deny it absolutely. :shock: :oops: :wink:

what's the reason for converting an S to an N? why not use an N in the first place and change bits (cheaper bike, isn't it?)? :?

I thought I'd like the S... it was a mistake, so I want a N, but I plan to keep the lights and clock.

i mean, is it not quite a bit of effort and time and money though? wouldn't it be cheaper for you to sell the S (as an S!) and buy an N? (unless you actually want the S lights and clock as you say - but won't it look a little odd with no fairing?)

exactly my thoughts - I have a 1 year old S in pristine condition, so thats worth about £3200 (maybe?), and I can get a new N for about £4000, so thats just a cost of £800 to change, as opposed to all the effort involved with making a conversion.

Plus my S got written off, so its just not cost effective... Oh and I'm rather attached to it.

You're damn right. You don't buy or sell any bike. We just love tuning our bike we have... further and further. 8)

Here is another picture of a naked SV with a GSX-R headlight. Lol :wink:
