As some of you know i put my SV through some pretty rough times, the last crash involving the machine being written off as a Cat C or D.. i cant remember..
However i didnt continue with my claim due to my insurance going through the roof, so i purchased a Daytona 675 instead and my SV is sat in the grarage doing nothing and has been since april.. now with winter setting in firmly im pushing my limited resources and funding into fixing the SV for possibly a May return, i did consider selling the scrap.. but i owe finance so it wouldnt be economical as it wouldnt pay off the finance if sold. below is a list of Needs and Wants from my insurance rundown and my own observations.. NEEDS Rear Subframe Front Subrame Battery Exhaust + link pipe Rearsets Tyres Rear brake bleed Nipple Right hand side R&G crash bung Engine Refresh (oil, Service Etc) Wheel Alignment check Re registering/ testing for road use WANTS Replaced body work Paint Job Rear shock Extra Crash Protection New Chain and Sprocket New discs Braided Lines Fork Internals upgrade Obviously the NEEDS section is a MUST maybe the extra crash protection should be in the needs too lol, i need help in terms of accurate prices for the parts i require, things i could of missed that are not so obvious. This is how it looked two months before the final crash... ![]() This is how it looks now... ![]() Any posotive help would be grately appreciated ![]() Thanks LyleJ |

Just a thought, if it's been sitting since April it will probably need a brake rebuild as well

yep ebay is your friend, you should be able to pick the bits up quite cheaply.
