pwerbronze lowers, difficult to fit - SV650.org

26-03-06, 07:51 PM

just bought myself a powerbronze set of lowers for my 2002 sv, took my time spraying them to a good finish, today i go to fit them, and for a start the instructions i got wit hthem are very basic. as for diagrams i think a child doodled them on their etch-a-sketch. but once i figured how the brackets went onto the bike i found the holes were not lining up like they should be

. so out of 3 parts of the brackets i got, 3 of them needed a reshaping with my mash hammer. i finally got them on and it looks nice but what a mess around bending the brackets into shape like this.
i as just wondering if ayone else has stories about powerbronze fixtures and fittings.

also guys when tightning 1 of my engine casing bolts i accidentally turned it 1 to many times and the head snapped.

any suggestions on what to do or shall i just glue the head on over the hole and forget about it?

I voted no because I have never had any trouble fitting one. I have never fitted any but my mate has. Not to an SV mind, but said it was easy.

I know from reading other post that Powerbronze stuff seems to be cheaper than others for a good reason

Are the fitting brackets really necessary?

well how else will i fit it on then?

Hmm, hang on. I think I may have fitting brackets after all. I won the lowers on Ebay with brackets already on them. I was thinking that maybe there were other brackets to fit to the bike too, but what is on the lowers must be the actual brackets themselves.

I think...
