Back in January I sold my old SV650 K3 naked to a mate of mine. I'd bought the bike as accident damaged and rebuilt it using used parts back into a very tidy machine. The only thing spoiling it was the radiator, I just couldn't find a straight 650 one anywhere so ended up with a SV1000S rad on it with the huge filler neck extension. I was riding round on that bike for 6 months hoping someone would damage it for me and then I could have it replaced FOC with the correct rad for the bike.
Fast forward to last night and I bumped into the new owner at the local bike club meet, and there on the bike is a shiny new 650N rad. Turns out that 2 weeks after he bought the bike he was sideswiped and the rad was the only thing on the bike that got damaged. The car driver's insurance bought him a new 650 rad. Now why couldn't that have happened when I owned it? |

If you need a bike crashed, we have a number of excellent candidates on this forum, with the Soho massive perhaps a little heavier on those than some other sections.
![]() We're a little short on people that want to buy you a new rad afterwards though... ![]()
