Ive bought a 2013 Gladius that has a fubared engine and needs some TLC as well. I bought it because I previously had a pointy which I enjoyed and I thought it would be a good basis for a project. I've got an upright bike (CF Moto 650MT does everything I've ever asked of it) so I am thinking of converting the Gladius to a Sunday morning cafe racer. As well as uprating the forks, shock and brakes etc the obvious bits will be clip ons, round headlamp, different exhaust, seat perhaps?.
Has anybody already done this, any advice and comments would be appreciated.
Alternative parts and compatability of other SV parts would be appreciated.
Thanks
