Default Re: Rebuild update.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm off for a couple of days now, so might get round to finishing it off. I was going to paint it a different colour, but, my original tank started to leak from a pinhole that had emerged whilst it had been sat in the shed, so found the one you see on it now. When it arrived it was in the original Suzuki box & when I examined it, this is a brand new, OEM tank that has a couple of small dents in the left hand side, which I can live with, hence why, it's staying Canyon Blue. I will be on the lookout for a Cafe racer seat unit as I loved the look of the seat I made, just didn't like my quality control, so sacked myself for a while The exhaust is extremely loud, so waiting for a baffle (I'm getting old), then tidy a few wires & she should be MOT ready

So, the Sv has passed it's MOT with flying colours, no advisories & even got told by the tester that it was "ok". This will be the final video for a while as I don't know what to do with it moving forward. I hardly ride my Triumph, so it seems pointless really to tax & insure the SV to have it sat in the shed doing nothing (I've wasted way too much money on it already). Or, the other option is to keep adding parts to it to give me something to do as & when I feel like playing in the shed & then, maybe, get her on the road, or track, for a play.

I've watched the video and enjoyed the update. I think it looks fine as it is. Well done.

And I agree with those sentiments.

I may have to do a "How to make a cuppa" video for a laugh, just to see how many views it would get
It feels weird, because I've cleaned out my ultrasonic cleaner, degreasing machine, swept the shed floor & bench. I said to the missus that it feels like I've tidied up before I die lol
