Hey everyone. I’ve been working on my SV for the last year or so. Sold my Buell Blast for what I bought if for and picked up the SV the very next day. I was looking for an SV for a month or so and when this popped up on Craigslist for a killer price. I snapped it up the same day the listing went up. Started out as an S model and I rode it that way for 6 months or so until I got tired of the wrist pain.
Picked up naked triples and full front brake set up. Needed longer brake lines and it was just cheaper to pick up the whole package some guy was selling on another forum.
So this is what she looked like the first day I brought her home:
Decided to go naked and start taking off all the unnecessary crap and go as light as possible for as cheap as possible. I did not want the massive stock gauge so I ordered a Vapor and proceeded to hack up the top clamp to get rid of the ugliness. Picked up some Dominators and sanded them down to put some trusted powdercoat on them. I had no idea what kind of quality they were and wanted to be sure they would not fade really fast.
Removed all the fairings and hardware. Pulled the front end off and replaced it with the naked version:
Top triple before hacking off the V section:
Back together with Renthal Fatbars and ignition relocated to the inside of the frame:
