SV650 - Matt Black Show Bike

 

Well, we've hit the deadline with a few hours to spare, so these shots were taken outside the workshop shortly before being loaded up and taken to the BMF Show.


 
There's been far more then just a splash of colour added so I'll go through the list of upgrades that have gone on. The front end is all GSXR 600, forks, brakes, wheels and handlebar controls. Straight forward swap-over from the standard SV front end. At the rear is an '09 ZX10 shock, again, a hassle free change from the standard shock as the dimensions are very similar. The rear pipe is an Akrapvic carbon unit, with a specially made exhaust hanger coming off the subframe unit.

In addition to all these performance upgrades, new light units are present. There's a bi-xenon projector lamp which will be housed in an aluminum shroud coming off the front subframe, with daylight running lights either side and the rear will be an LED arrangement, though these are still work in progress.


  
Its far from finished, but this stage gives a great idea of how the final bike will look. Now, lets get one up and running!
