As I don't use it any more (not even started it up for over a year Embarassed), I have decided to get my track SV on the road (figured I'd get some use out of it and if I want to use it on track I still could).

So I have changed it from this:-

To this:-

I bet that Ohlins rear shock is gonna be nice on the road!! Cool

The fat-boy race bars are already proving awkward mind you (making switch gear rub on faring). Mad

Anyway, i thought sv's were commuter bikes ... Cool


Commuter bikes, touring bikes, learner bikes, 'scratching' bikes, race bikes ... even dirt bikes with a few mods!! Cool

They basically can do a bit of everything ... which is probably why they are so popular Thumbs Up

I doubt I'd ever sell it to be honest, it is kinda a memento now! Smile
