It's looking good, and the blue hoses should stay, as I've also gone full blue silicone hose tat on my A1 Kawasaki.

You can get hung by the SV owners club, so then I won't be alone. Laughing

The old photos don't show, the URL needs editing from .org to .cc if you get a chance.

I took the liberty of doing this. If it's a problem (like it's hoovering bandwidth or something), PM me and I can undo it.

Nope, that's spot on, thanks Stinkwheel. Thumbs Up

Few up to date pics.

Bit of an older pic with the original front subframe, but only one I have of that side. Laughing

Sorry for potato pic, lighting in the unit is shite on a rubbish day.

It's very nearly done now. I have an exhaust bracket to make, wire in the vapour Speedo, and then it's waiting for the race fairing to turn up. (Made to order, about two weeks off getting here)

Bike is watered, oiled and runs on the button. Was a bit squeaky bum on first fire up due to by-eye cam timing, but all went well. Carbs are dynojetted and the BMC 205 filter is in the air box.

Nearly ready to ride after -3 yearsish. Surprised

MOT'd couple of days ago. Rides good, wonderfully light and punchy.

Not so bad. It has a wee bit of foam on the seat along with a numberplate mounted up on it since this pic was taken.

The riding position is that of a race bike, as you'd expect. Wink

Is this some ploy racers use to make them go faster? "Have to finish the race quick, my nuts can't stand much more of this!" Laughing

Small addition to this, I made a conversion kit to fit a fuck off set of flat bars to it when I fancied hooning about on the road. I haven't hacked anything other than drilling two holes in the yoke, so the fairing can go back on in about an hour.

I've also installed a couple of LED strips on the number plate to function as brake lights so I don't get rammed when out in traffic.

Little things but they make me happy.
