Pictured in my van as I'm off to my mates engineering place to manufacture a link pipe for the high level exhaust.

Needs the wiring tidying up and some paint and its good to go!!

Franken SV

It is at the moment but she is a runner!!!

Fair point!

Has anyone used Michelin Pilot Roads (the originals, not the 2 or 3) on their curvy?
Picked up a brand new pair for a good price, have liked Michelins in the past but haven't used these before

Cheers

Yep, I have had a pair on my curvy for the last 5000 miles. I've got another pair ready to go on when these are done with. Excellent tyres, ideal on the SV.

Excellent, cheers for the reply Gary.
I picked a brand new pair up for £130 delivered, well happy with that

Tonight I have:

Removed old forks seals and drained oil ready for new
Removed minty mint rear calliper from donor bike
Removed side stand and switch from donor bike
Removed throttle cables from donor bike
Removed top section of right switch gear from donor bike cos it has the locator pin
Removed fuel tap from donor bikes tank

Fork seals should arrive tomorrow, will pick up fork oil on the way home from work

She's getting there...

The Candy red is the best color for a curvy, but I'm biased!

It is a gorgeous colour, although I'm partial to the yellow ones too. I've owned blue, black, yellow and red over the years
Last night, I also found a brand new set of sprockets in a box and two clutch worm gear actuators that look in better nick than the current one.
My donor bike is a cat B that I was given as payment for doing an engine swap for a mate, everything from the headstock back is there but no engine.
The loom has a datatool S4 alarm on it and I have two fobs. Was tempted to do a loom swap to retain the alarm but I can do that at a later date once the bike's on the road.
More pictures tomorrow but here's the donor bike and forks ready to go

As a random aside, here are the three bikes I sold last year to get on the property ladder
Laguna Seca SP2

Firestorm

250 Hornet import
