Re: Gladius Cafe Racer
Hi what are you trying to do?
Any drawings of what you are thinking, traditional flattish cafe racer hump seat or more Ducati style seat sweeping up.
I assume clip-on bars, maybe bikini fairing....

Re: SV 650 Cafe Racer Old School

Re: Standard length for dog bones (curvy)?
I made my own for my gen1 Dog bones, ratio on gen 1 is almost linear 3:1. 10mm longer is 30mm drop. I fitted a slightly shorter shock and needed a shorter dogbone to raise and restore the height.

Re: SV 650 Cafe Racer Old School
yes it's a lithium battery under the hump. if you look at my first post picture of the bike on the dyno you can see the battery position. It feels like a empty plastic box it's so light.
