Big thanks to BIG AL for selling me the bits, northwind and 21QUEST for all the help and advice, glad to be part of a great community

looks good, just need to get that wheel painted

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.

i hate you, if i could do somthing big to my SV it would be a GSXR front end!! And shock aswell.

How much it cost in total?

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

I feel like a proud father!

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.

'You finally done it' . Looking good.

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



Cheers
Ben

Looks good, what've you done with the speedo set-up?

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

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

[21QUEST]

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.
