Re: Rebuild update.
I was wondering if I'd missed an update or two... Your videos were very well done Col but I can see why you were getting fed up with the admin if it was getting in the way of the spanners.
That standard(ish) look with the USD forks giving a more "muscular" stance works well.

Re: Rebuild update.
Thanks for the update Colin. I enjoy editing photos but not videos, they're far to time consuming and frustrating. Maybe you should do a final finished (short) video just to complete the series.

Re: Rebuild update.
Sorry that I've not posted for such a long time, but life & family issues have taken precedent over the SV. I have been messing around with it in the background & today she has been treated to a coat of paint out of a rattle can or 2.
As you can see, she has the original seat unit fitted as I fell out of love with the one that I made (I do want to go with that idea at a later date, but I'll cheat & buy a readymade one I think). She's nearly ready for an MOT now, just a few teething problems to sort out & a bit of wiring to put right. I will probably do a video of it when she's on the road. Just thought I would let the Org see her 1st before anyone else. 1724437841854 by Colin Hughes, on Flickr

Re: Rebuild update.
That's a bloody lovely looking bike Col. The best version in the fastest colour too!

Re: Rebuild update.
Very nice and great to hear from you Col, looking forward to next video. Thanks for sharing. Ps blue is only faster if Gary is the pilot

Re: Rebuild update.
Looks very good!
Coincidentally I'd been musing about using SV tail end bodywork to fit to a modified FZ600 I have long term dreamy plans for. It'll be a while yet before I get to that but this helps me visualise that it's not an idea to be ruled out just yet.

Re: Rebuild update.
That's looking very tidy Col.
