Fixing the SV

Motorcycling
1

I hit diesel on a roundabout 2 months ago and damaged some of the fairing so I thought I would paint the thing a dif colour.

Ive owned the bike from new in 2005 and it was originally blue but getting a bit bored with the colour and cant afford a new bike.

heres whats been done so far

started to take the plastics off.

I was getting a knocking noise from the forks so changed the head bearing, fork bushes and fork oil

old fork oil!!!

Plastics arrive back from body shop all new and shiny

Also had the holes for the indicators flushed to make way for the GSXR wing mirrors with indicators in them

Gonna start putting it all back together today…more pics to follow
