Title: bowing to temptation
Post by: fracl on August 13, 2005, 06:08:00 PM

well, I broke down and bought an SV650 the other day, ostensibly to replace my RF600 (but who knows)...got a few interesting mods in place, most notably a GSXR front end/suspension/rotors/brakes. Gonna modify the bars for more humane ergos in deference to my creaky ole back. I've ridden an SV couple times, and was really impressed with the quickness and handling. So, we shall see. It's the same color as the Bandit--looks as if my Bandit had a kitten.

Hope to install braided brake lines and lowering kit shortly...maybe some funky graphics this winter. At any rate, Project SV will keep me out of the pool hall for a spell.

Cool, Claudia.......just promise me you won't put that huge fairing on it! :duh:

No, she doesn't have add-on lowers, her bike has a whole different (and larger) fairing.

I see.  Nice touch, IMO.  I like stuff that draws a second look.

I thought Pete was referring to the lowers that are available for the SV650s.

Damn!!  :shock:  She can probably knock semi's off the road with the windblast from that fairing.    Move over Goldwing, now there's something tourier.

The pic doesn't do it justice.  It's BIG.  She has a stereo built into it! (along with her 300K mile badge from Suzuki!)  It's the same model fairing as used on one of the bikes in the movie Mad Max.
