Turning an 'S' into an 'N'

I'd already spent too much money, so went with the cheaper option!

Thasnks for the help guys, as I have a GSXR front end will this make it more difficult?

I've just started looking around a bit, think it may cost slightly more that I first though

I have an SV front end, so afraid I'm in the dark. Try 21 QUEST, I think he had a nekkid with a gixer front end?

Mounting the clocks will be a bit more interesting than usual. Headlight's easy enough, there's loads of clamps out there, but finding and fitting SV clocks will need a little investment and ingenuity. Might make more sense to get an aftermarket clock like an Acewell...

Hi AndyB, got your PM. Thanks for the comments!
Mine was actually a curvy faired model in the dim and distant. Ahh, the memories!

As Northy says....Acewell clocks. From £80 (that gets you digi speed, revs trip etc. but no idiot lights) up to £140 for all singing/dancing/lights flashing (with a petrol gauge that wont work on an SV ).

That's what I did on mine, the basic one. But, naked clocks at first seemed the way to go. I just got fed up with ebayers wanting £150+ a set. Then you gotta sort a mounting bracket and front loom. In a word, HASSLE!

Choke, throttle, brakelines and maybe switchgear cables are area's you MAY/MAY NOT need to invest in naked versions to keep things neat and tidy.
I got away with just re-routing the switchgear wiring and the clutch. The rest I replaced. I also tried a naked brake M/C for a while, but that is not strictly necessary.

The bar conversion, you could leave the clip-on's on it?
I got a pair of risers, about £20-50. Drag bars are about a tenner, Renthals are about double that.

There are a hundred different headlamp options.
Choose whatever floats your boat!

Good luck, don't get too frustrated. Things you didn't account for WILL happen, lol.

Oooooh! That electrickery is the work of demons i tell thee and nothing good shall come of it. Begone with your witchcraft.





Nah,seriously. Well done that man. Bugger, wish i'd got the other model now. The lack of petrol gauge does catch me out now and then. Might get something to work myself now he's done the groundwork, lol.

Be cheaper to get hold of a top yoke and risers from a breakers, aswel as gaining extra mounts and the like.
