Title: Refresh of my track SV Post by: Charlief on May 21, 2011, 10:45:57 AM I picked it up last year and ran it the way it was...ugly and dented.
(http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff27/charlieff/photo-123.jpg) I had the forks done by a very respected racer....one of the fastest guys at Loudon.... and picked up a Penske. (http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff27/charlieff/photo5-2.jpg) Over the winter I scoured Ebay, SVrider, WERA and other forums picking up parts. I ended up getting a BRAND NEW yellow tank for $100. Then I came ascross some Sharkskinz already painted yellow from a guy in CA. Got some Galfer discs for $175 a pair shipped! now that was a bargain. The Tail and fender Ihad painted by our very own DP. I rewired the bike to bypass the ignition...got a tach, temp sensor, frame sliders, AL subframe, Accossato radial master, galfer SBK lines and some other misc stuff.. I'm about 98% done as I need to throw some larger jets in the carbs.

Folks might think you have a fire-breathin', bazillion hp SV underneath there. Title: Re: Refresh of my track SV Post by: kopfjäger on May 21, 2011, 11:51:22 AM Nice job [thumbsup]

But the shipping costs to Boston nixed the deal. Zoran seems like a great guy.

Title: Re: Refresh of my track SV Post by: Cider on May 21, 2011, 08:04:01 PM Great looking SV! I've got a first gen myself. Let me know how you like the Accossato, since I just emailed a guy about one. I'm using an OEM Brembo from an Aprilia, but I had a brake problem last weekend, and I don't trust it much.
Oh yeah, Zoran is a legend! I owe my minimal wiring harness and a few other tricks to him. Title: Re: Refresh of my track SV Post by: Charlief on May 22, 2011, 05:42:15 AM Great looking SV!

Ya I got the wiring harness from him. And the zip ties around the chain adjuster is his idea too. I put this bike together without one original thought!!! [cheeky] Do tou race up at Loudon? If so as Peter Gaboreo(sp) he has the same Accossoto. I have done any track time yet due to my job. But right after 6/17 my time opens up at work.

I need a sticker with it so I can use that to tape over the speedo on the track. Can you imagine anything more inspiring? [evil] |
