"No regerts" 2002 SV650 build -patr 1

It's time y'all!!!

Back story, and reason for the title. The R6 I built a while back had been finished and I had my fun on it. The decision was made to move on to another build. I always had my eye on SV650's. Most appealing to me was the torque of the v-twin over the top end scream of, especially my 600, inline 4.

So when I had seen a high sided and a bit rough around the edges 02 SV pop up on craigslist I struck as fast as I could. I offered up an even trade for my running, riding, reliable, R6. For a high sided, sort of busted up un-rideable and, when I went to get it, non running SV.... And you know what? No regerts.... Yet

Enough b.s. onto the pictures...

Here she is in current state. Work done already is make a backing plate for mounting broken foot control, pull and replace broken bolt on clip-on, replace choke cable and replace left hand control and choke lever. And some zip ties for shit plastics and "custom" front blinker mounts to get her on the road.

Ummm, no fucking clue... lol...

Pile of goodies next to the bike. Going to have to wait to see what's inside...

Garbage...

More garbage...

Does my ass look straight? Wait...What?

Pulled some garbage off.

Then I mocked up my seat choice, Buell XB9/12s factory low seat....

Then I just stood there...Yeah, that will work out...

I know y'all love a good mock up tease...
