The bike finally made it to the garage. not much has changed seance. I have a brand new rad that needs to go on. Eventually when I get an exhaust I'll be able to test start it for the first time. Then off to the dyno for mapping.

Almost time to move to the Garage.

It's so much nicer working on a bike in the house when it's cold outside.

I started to stock up on some engine goodies.

I have always grown up with motorcycles being in the house. I moved into a house and the bike slowly made it's way inside 1 finished part at a time.

I stripped the frame and got it ready for powder coating.

Had to make a few tools to get the swingarm off.

The engine was like new, Had 577 original miles on it.

I bought a smashed up 2003 SV650 2 years ago. It was a complete wreck when I got it and was going to just fix it and put it on the road to ride. I didn't plan on going as far with it as I have but I got carried away and now it's a long term project. I have no idea when I will get it finished due to ...

Almost ready to race, A few things to do over the winter yet. The bike has been derestricted and needs new tires. I have a set of VJ22 rims that are wider and will be fitted with Michelin Power Ones. I need to remove the headlight and spedo and any extra cables and wires that are not required.

I was rather happy how the bike turned out.

Sent in some ideas for graphics. Wanted the bike to look like the Kevin Schwantz Pepsi Edition. The previous owner also wanted to do the same with the bike if he ever had the chance. It seemed like the way to go.

It was to big for her anyways!
