Ryan's 2000 SV650S thread

[ryhardcastle]

Since having an off recently and the fact I'm mega bored I thought I'd make a thread of the progress of the red beast since I bought it and plans for the future etc.

June 2009 when I bought her:

Added fender extenda, MTC stubby can, braided lines, heated grips:

September 2010:

Speedo rotor disintegrated so replaced that with a new one. Reg/rec also went so replaced that.

Also got the Autosol out and a bit of elbow grease to get rid of the dodgy lacquer on the forks:

April 2011:

The bike took a bit of beating this week. The front fairing is all cracked and the screen is smashed. Rearset has snapped and some of the back end is bent. My wrist and knees are also hurting quite a lot. Basically I ran out of talent on a bend, was heading straight for a pavement and some parked cars so I grabbed a load of front brake and went over the handlebars at about 10 mph and bike flipped over: Was considering street fightering but I'm going to restore it to it's former glory :

Can't really see it as the pics are poor but there are scuffs/cracks all over the front fairings:

Undertray snapped off and grabrail bent down and scuffed:

Lowers that arrived today all prepped and ready for the sprayers. Had to do some minor repairs on some of the brackets as a few were cracked. Nothing a bit of loctite superglue and some fibreglass filler hasn't sorted though:

Cheers guys. Rob, I quite like the front although it is looking a bit dated now. I'll get a sound vid up soon. It's LOUD


Bodywork is really testing my patience now. All I seem to be doing is sanding or waiting for coats to dry.

Centre panel with base coat ready for lacquer:

Going to leave for an hour or so then apply a couple of coats of lacquer. How long should I let it harden for? 24 hours?
