THANKS GUYS!! I'm smitten I never thought I'd get such a response. Not to blow my own feathers but I even got stopped by the white heads (its what we call traffic cops here) so they could take a closer look. I suppose it's a head turner, leaving the SV's nice frame more exposed than on the SVS works to its advantage.
The biggest job was fitting the stock naked clocks. I manufactured a new cowling out of 0.8 aluminum to make the assy thinner. The final was sprayed matt black. Firebolt fairing fits like a glove on the SV. I can't think why nobody else has thought of this before and the lines just flow with the rest of the bike, which to me is very important as I wanted a special one off bike which looks like its been done by the manufacturer. The lower bolting holes in the buell's frame have to be filled in by a welder though and fresh holes have to be be drilled in which are lower for the SV. Other than that easy. Sorry for the average pictures. I had so much great time riding it that I hardly wanted to stop to shoot the picts. Others will follow though.  Thanks again for the kind comments. |

It looks a lot better on the SV than the buel. Yet more proof that the SV is great!
