Hi all,

Nothing to do with Omegas (but I have caught my mig in the background  ) but thought I'd share my hard work with you all.

Brought a SV650SY for good money, been serviced like clockwork but bodywork was terible - been dropped twice and not cleaned well enough



So I had it delivered and the second it hit the drive it was stripped down.....



Everything bodywise came off in the end, even the fuel tank. I liked yellow and wanted to be seen a little better by car drivers. Forks were painted, swingarm, wheels and front hugger. I also managed to get hold of a set of lower fairings to give the bike a better look (in my eyes anyway).

Now bright yellow and very clean 







A lot of work but well worth the time

Cheers

Nice job      SV is an excellent bike. 
One bit of info, apart from not having to buy another air filter, there's no other advantage in getting a K&N filter according to UK Dynojet and K&N specialists PDQ.

Cool cheers for that.

Not after speed or amazing performance from the SV, just a commuter for the summer months and maybe a drive in the country.

They are a great all-rounder bike, cheap to buy, run, tax and insure. £111 for a years insurance!

I'd love to run both the bike and mig but 2.6 petrol brings  to my eyes in running costs.

I looked at the ninja, just this SV came up at the right price with bags of potential

The way things are going with fuel costs i might have to take the mig off the road and back to 2 wheels again ...mot on the mig soon and if it fails on a lot ill be digging the bike gear out again
