Title: Budget buster track mule. Post by: Grampa on February 08, 2013, 03:48:24 PM 01 Suzuki sv650
02 gsxr 750 front end with Ohlins innards GPR steering damper Elka rear shock cam swap Galfer wave rotors with ebc sintered double h pads Goodridge steel braided brake lines Keihin flat slide carbs and k&n filters Arrow ti exhaust Woodcraft highmount rearsets Shinko slicks (I had fun with them on the supermoto, I thought I'd try them on a bigger scoot,) Wire tied and ready for the first track day of the season. March 15th. (http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/bobspapa/2013-02-08_13-32-50_71.jpg) (http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t180/bobspapa/2013-02-08_13-08-57_530.jpg) The bike had previously been laid down and needed quite a bit of fiberglass repair. Lots of fumes and sanding later... the wavy body was ready to be hidden by truck bed liner paint. ( no need to tank gripper pads now :P ) I shaved down the superthick SV seat and recovered it with basic black vinyl. Fun on the track... all for less than 3k. Everything I purchased was on sale, I just had to be patient. I even found a new pair of Astar super tech r's for 200 bucks. Title: Re: Budget buster track mule.

Title: Re: Budget buster track mule. Post by: Two dogs on February 11, 2013, 12:58:18 PM What bike is that fairing originally designed for ?
Did it take much modification to fit ? Would like to see the brackets you fabed . Title: Re: Budget buster track mule. Post by: Triple J on February 11, 2013, 01:25:42 PM What bike is that fairing originally designed for ? Those are SV650 fairings. Quite a few companies make them as SVs are popular race/track bikes. Looks cool Joel. Good luck with those tires...that's one item where I don't go cheap. Hopefully they do well for you though. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Budget buster track mule.
