Just finished the last big thing left

Fresh meat on the front, swapped the rotors, installed woodcraft mc holder and tank grips/protector. Just need to wire up the speedo and tighten/clean/lube the chain.

Unf.

alex.s · March 14th, 2015, 04:28 PM

you should buy a streetfighter. all the cool chicks buy ducatis.

Finesse · March 14th, 2015, 08:11 PM

where did your fender go?

M42 · March 15th, 2015, 03:51 AM

Just removed it for the time being untill I install the speedo sensor down there. It's attached to one of the fender bolts.

alex.s · March 15th, 2015, 08:07 AM

Same here. Ended up getting a big scratch on my helmet visor right in front of one of my eyes. So annoying. Had to get a new visor.

yep. i had the rear bodywork off longer (never rains here) until i somehow took a hefty one right in the back of the head... just right... you know that dazed feeling you get. i keep an undertail on now too.

Go figure, fenders are on for a reason.

Hey, didn't you delete your rear fender?

The rear. I'd never take the front off unless I needed to or it was broken. I get so much junk flung in my face on my bicycles because no front fender. That rear one is useless.

The undertail is the fender. When running no undertail its a big problem. Or if the tail is bobbed.

choneofakind · March 15th, 2015, 01:51 PM

I thought the undertail and rear fender were two different things?

Singh2jz · March 15th, 2015, 05:53 PM

Another sv!?!?!?! Need to get one before everybody and their moms get one! lol

Finesse · March 16th, 2015, 06:01 AM

M42 · March 26th, 2015, 02:44 PM

Hard week at work. Couldn't stand it anymore, had to have some fun so I rode it to work. Nature even powerwashed the ****er for me

Had a setback with the speedo sensor thing, ordered another and trying it again this weekend. I really hope it works, because if it doesn't, I'm not sure where to go from there...

Singh2jz · March 27th, 2015, 01:45 AM

Yo, how come you didn't park perpendicular to the curb? Just askin, cuz that's what I learned from somewhere lol

choneofakind · March 27th, 2015, 02:32 AM

Why woul you park perpendicular to the curb? I've never understood people who go that

M42 · March 27th, 2015, 02:45 AM

I usually park diagonally, but I get to work super early in the morning and the street is completely empty, so I just do whatever because I'm lazy and tired.

Singh2jz · March 27th, 2015, 02:50 AM

I've done it that way mainly because of my school and on roads that aren't level. The other reasons are that it makes more room for other cars and perfect symmetry lol.

Finesse · March 30th, 2015, 10:25 AM

I parked perpendicular to the curb one time and my bike got totaled so now I park parallel as close to the curb as I can

M42 · March 31st, 2015, 05:02 PM

Still working on the speedo, meanwhile did a mic test to figure out where the weird audio crackle I'm getting is coming from. Here you go, what the SV sounds like:

Link to original page on YouTube.

alex.s · March 31st, 2015, 06:23 PM

how bad is the wind without the little fake windshield? sounds like lots of buffeting

M42 · March 31st, 2015, 06:32 PM

I honestly didn't notice it at all, the wind noise is mostly because the mic's directly by the helmet airflow lines. If anything it felt good because it held my torso up a little to compensate for my weakass core. Those clipons are LOW

Reminder: I am super short and wind affects non-midgets a lot more

alex.s · March 31st, 2015, 06:38 PM

what kind of bars are they? the stock gsxr clipons? i thought i remembered seeing they looked like something else... aftermarket? i thought the gsxr ones go down at an angle... yours are flat right?

Finesse · March 31st, 2015, 06:47 PM

excuse me... my windscreen is not FAKE alex...

alex.s · March 31st, 2015, 06:47 PM

come on you know that dinky thing aint doin ****

M42 · March 31st, 2015, 07:02 PM

I think they're the stock sv650s clipons (this bike was originally an S). I kinda want the flat ones though.

I need to make a video to see how my SV sounds through a mic. Your video doesn't do it justice! Although, that can be said for just about every video I see/hear on the interwebs.

Finesse · March 31st, 2015, 07:17 PM

they're not stock sv650 clip ons if they clip on to your 50mm forks

alex.s · March 31st, 2015, 07:30 PM

what size are the stock sv forks? 45mm? a bit of a shave would make them work. sometimes people make sleaves for that sorta thing too. my fzr has strips of steel sheet under the clipons to make them fit iirc

Not cool.

M42 · April 1st, 2015, 03:45 AM

Dang, you're right, didn't even think of that. Prob the ones that came with the forks then.

The SV never came with inverted forks, so they are most likely from whatever cycle the forks are from.

If you mean you'd rather have conventional handlebars, it can be done but it takes significant mods to the upper triple clamp or an upper triple that already has clamps for conventional handle bars.

drill two holes, stick bolts through to mount your standard bar clamp. that was easy

haven't looked in awhile but isn't a decent bridgeport mill, like, 7 grand?

choneofakind · April 1st, 2015, 05:45 PM

Meh, maybe??! The used market is more bumpin' than you'd expect.

alex.s · April 1st, 2015, 06:50 PM

true. those things last like, 50 years at least.
