new sv650 parts swap pics! The parts are all back from the machinist!!!

Ok, I just got the final missing piece, and the linchpin at that! That part is my custom made/modified SV650 triple clamps with a bonneville neck pressed in. It is the core part of the mixing of the 2 bikes. If this were a marriage, this is where the realtionship is consummated! Enough blah blah, here's a picture or 2:



Check out that top clamp!!! Talk about super clean! There will be nothing on top of it except for the Jesus nut. I'm going to make a gauge bracket that mounts to the underside of it and sits flush with the top so it will look very smooth. If I can't make something I like then I'm shipping the mother to Seth aka D9 for some custom cuttin'. I plan on making a very 'race' looking gauge setup. I think at first for cost savings I'm going to mount the stock tack front and center and the idiot lights below it, and then figure out what I'm going to do about a speedo/odo.

Here's the setup with the clip ons, well, clipped on.




Please note the festive gourd centerpiece and the skeleton placemats. Those add 5hp and no rejetting is required. The whole affair will be painted black, I like the aluminum, but the sucker is going dark.

Just in case you missed last week's episode, here are some other new part pics:

stock tire vs 160mm:



So now I just have to put the mother back together....with all custom parts.....auuugh!!!

I already test fitted the new triple clamp, and it fit just like the stocker, cause part of it is the stocker, so we're good there. I just have to figure out the fork stops because they are totally incompatible. I have a choice to make, either trim down the tab on the frame neck, or grind off the sv fork stops and drill/tap and mount a big bolt to make a new stop on the bottom clamp. I haven't decided which yet, but I'd rather not permanently modify the frame, although at this point I don't really know why I care about that!

The next week will be exciting!!!

Looking good Jeff. If you mounted a steering damper,even just for looks,could you then just go "stopless"? How often does the bike even get to the stops,unless your just pushing it around the garage???

Sweat you are a MAD,MAD MAN but in a good way.
Looking forward to hearing how she handles.
I'm sure she will feel like a totally different bike.
Good luck
Bill

I would think that drilling/threading the clamp would give you adjustable fork stops without cutting up the frame.
I can't wait to see it together.
