Casper's 2006 Suzuki SV650
Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2012 8:38 pm
Bought a fun little toy and started my modifications.
Modifications before I purchased...
Delvic Exhaust
Pazzo Adjustable Levers (Black with red adjusters.)
Minor elimination of the rear fender (Removed Mudflap.)
Solo Seat cowl and spacer (color matched to bodywork)
Mini LED stalks in the front (attached rather poorly to the bracketry with two washers and a nut in a large triangular hole)
Bar end mirrors
I took a nice long ride on her today and have to say that she is amazing, plenty of power down low and able to accelerate in any gear. I think I might be hooked on V-Twin power. :letsride: Took my first trip up to the local ski area (one of the only curvy roads in the neighborhood) and she handled like a dream, need to work on my chicken strips.
Modifications performed already:
Removed Bikini Fairing
Removed Chain Guard
Removed silly reflectors on the forks
Adjusted front and rear preload to max (best I can do until buying new springs)
Modifications in the near future:
Black Superbike Bars (Purchased, on the way.)
ZX14 rear shock
Undertail modification (I hate how much room it currently takes.)
Complete Fender Eliminator (Probably home made from sheet metal.)
Integrated Tail light
Stainless Steel Brake lines
Exhaust hanger creation
Removal of passenger pegs
Maintenance (Oil change, radiator fluid flush and fill, chain clean lube and adjust, brake fluid flush and bleed. Anything else here, recently went though a 27k mile inspection at a motorcycle shop I trust?)
Modification in the not so near future:
Removal of V on top triples
Black paint/powder on triples and fork lowers
Color change on wheels (Help break up the black. Possibly to the color of the engine.)
Rearset changes (Probably just modify the current ones to have less material in the non structural areas and changing the heel guards.)
Modifications in the far future:
GSXR USD front end
GSXR rear wheel swap
GSXR (K5+) tail swap
Through swinger high mount exhaust
Reminder:
These are all up to change and in no particular order or time frame (could be years), but most will get done. Any other ideas?
Fun little inspiration...
