Front subframe anger
 

Hi guys + gals

I just got back from Italy yesterday (wish i stayed) My Sv was involved in a slight crash where the front subframe was slightly bent. I got a K5 POINTY.

I order one from ebay they said it was from a K5 pointy( its a breakers in Manchester blacks, all good there.

Today i tried it and it not the right size. I was scratching my head for ages wondering what was up with it then i compared my old one to the one from ebay and they are different shapes. Granted the one from the breakers was straight it just did not fit the fairings correct on my sv. My old on was a better fit.
What do you think !! are sv 1000 bigger frames than 650s. I feel i was sent the wrong part .

I am now back again to looking for a Front subframe for a pointy please msg me if you have one.
Thanks

Looks like a Pointy subframe - could be from a 1000, but I didn't think they were different. It's definitely not a curvey.
You sure you're fitting it right? not upside down ;)

thats a pointy front sub frame deffo, the thou is exactly he same size as the 650, same part, its prob bent, they bend easy and are neigh on impossible to bend back.

+1. It looks like the subframe I handed to kwak.

Rarer than rocking horse poo to find a straight one & not pay OEM prices.

Paging Lozzo.... :lol: (I got mine from him, but then didn't need it, so it went to kwak).

The front subframe on the SV1000 is virtually identical and the only real difference is at the section which bolts to the frame.

I gave kwak a SV650 front subframe for his thou, and he hasn't complained yet...

Re: Front subframe anger
 

ive changed both 650 and 1000 they are the same.

Re: Front subframe anger
 

How much do they usually go for then???

Re: Front subframe anger
 

New ones are around £119 ish...I believe there may be subtle differences between some of the years as mine (K3) has a different part number to the K4...
