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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

That looks fantastic with the twin-headlight fairing! Great job.
