Rubbish! Looked better before!

Well done mate. Looks good.

I see you have got all the correct tools lying around. Hammer and a screwdriver. No doubt used as a chisel. :thumbsup: :lol:

So far £753
But i'm selling my old/un-needed stuff on E-Bay to recoupe most (if not all) the costs







Did i mention i'm selling bits on E-Bay :oops:

I feel like a proud father! :wink:

Looks fantastic mate. Psycraft have a silver front wheel in stock, they might part ex yours for it... Now get a single seat hump, and get those underseat fills sprayed blue, and that'll be one of the nicest SVs I've seen on here.

21QUEST 28-02-06 09:55 PM

'You finally done it' 8) :wink: . Looking good.

Are you running the Ohlins shock at standard ride height? Any issues with controls/fairing clearance?



Cheers
Ben

Going to get the wheels coated black in the summer, silver rim tape, blue valve caps and I'm on the look out for a single seat hump, but cash is short now :lol:

Nah, got the ohlins on full ride high (to the line on the bolt) and the K2 forks are as the manual says because i think they're shorter then the SVs by a fraction so will test it and see

As for clearance, only the throttle cables touch on full lock to the right, but when do i ever use it, Besides i got a well thick lacquer layer put on in the respray

Ordered a hall effect do-da from the states CLICK HERE, this price includes shipping to the UK (e-mailed them to find out and they sent me the link)



Oh and when i can afford them, new wavey discs :twisted: :twisted:

21QUEST 28-02-06 10:51 PM

Just my thoughts but if I were you , I'll set the ride height to the OE ride height(off the top of my head it's 337mm , maybe 3mm-5mm more) and the forks flush with the top yoke. Then go from there.

Rear may also tend to be a wee bit easier lock/lift(generally speaking) so easy on that as well. Enjoy.

Cheers
Ben
