So my buddy offered to take a couple new photos of my bike today after i got done installing my new cycle cat 954 clip ons (Huge rise!!). It totally sux0rz out today so i didn't get to ride on the new clipons, but the **** pit is way different now.

What kind of forks are those because I know SV's dont come with inverted forks.

 

they are gsxr forks, he's got a build thread you can search for.
im always so amazed at how great your bike looks. did you have to get longer brake lines or throttle cables?

 

They're regular SV length brake lines, and stock everything else. When i first put them on the throttle cables pulled tight when trying to turn full lock, so i just rotate the clipons inward around the fork and then changed the angle of the bar the make up for that, and presto chango, no problem.

 

i love your bike. but i have a quick question for you. since you went from a uber powerfull RC51 to a sv650, how much difference did it make in your daily riding? i mean power wise

 

My daily riding is more fun now. The RC is a terrible street bike. It's big, cumbersome, gets hot easily, gets poor gas mileage (comparatively) and runs on premium.
I never used all of the RCs power on the streets anyways. With the SV it's small, agile, sounds great, is economical in comparison, and practicaly (not to mention more comfortable), and if i want to I can feel like i'm using all of the SVs power, at the twist of my 1/5th turn throttle.
I don't think anyone needs more than 47 ft lbs of torque on the street, and I sure enjoy having access to it at anyRPM

 

lol cockpit.


double lol cock_pit.


i really want an SV though

 

My favorite SV's evaR

 

WoW !! Thats an amazingly sweet lookin SV. Probably the nicest I've seen.

CLEANN!!! I still want a SVs....hopefully soon! I love the red man! You always to functional mods

 

How do you like that M4 slipon? I'm still struggling with what slipon to get for my neked 03 SV.

 

It's an awesome exhaust. The sound is great. Nice and loud without sounding like crap, and very deep. The construction is great, and install was a snap. I'm going to order their Ti midpipe when they get more Ti in stock.

 

Clean SV

 

here's my SV650



just bought it in november. i'm looking forward to racing a lw again.

 

nice deal! I'm jealous of your steering damper.

 

nice SV man

wow didn't know SV's could look that nice. I always hated how they have no fairings so this just looks damn clean.

i am loking at one for my race bike :D

 

Sexy. I'm kinda tempted to get one of those for my next bike . . . how did it ride before the clip-ons?

 

really, you need to send links of all of your posts on this site to suzuki. every time a pic of your bike is posted, everyone says sv is gonna be their next bike...5 in this one alone! you HAVE to be getting some kind of commission

It rode fine. I had stock 954 clipons on it which were about the same rise as stock SV clipons, but with more downward angle.
I still haven't gotten to ride it with the new clipons so we'll see.

ngng, nice deal on hunting for an SV race bike. I really want to take my bike to the track.

that one guy, if I could land a job with suzuki, or anywhere, selling SVs I would.

 

was your f3 wheel a direct replacement?

i wanna get one mainly for looks but dont want to go through any unnecessary trouble

where did you get it?
