FINALLY :-D

Big big smile on my face yesterday, with the help from some forums i got it figured out.
Rode around the blocks, does not run good over 5k rpm`s but i hope that is going to be solved with rejetting and carb cleaning.
But she is running that is the importent part, starts right up and the little oil leak sealed itself.
Now i just have to do some minor stuff till she hit`s the track next month.

Kurt please remember no crashing ;-)

wanted to take her for a short ride put the clutch does not work anymore after changing clutch perch and straightened out some little stuff at the engine side, man was i i frustrated but it is most likely just some little stuff

i actually like the sv m/c more than the svs one, gives it a cleaner look imho

she is alive, all systems go !

it is a little of center but it works for me

used some t-nuts and washers as spacers

I got a cheap upper triple with a whole already drilled in it because there are going to be 2 more holes, the ignition lock is of an 750 srad and worked with no problems.


the ducati m/c and the banjo bolt with build in brake light switch

front brake issue


one of those little things, i discovered that the front master cylinder was damaged, the mount for the lever was broken at the bottom, since fixing was not an option i dug out an ducati m/c from an old project, which than also needs an banjo bolt with a build in switch which i also found somewhere but that bolt only accepts 2 lines i would also have to get new lines which is not really in the budget, than i saw a pic someone using the stock sv m/c with clip ons, so i used that one, did also a bunch of little stuff to get it going

was working on sorting little stuff out like headlight, controls etc, when i discovered that the mount for the lever on the front m/c was broken and also the threads in the clutch perch where stripped so both need to be replaced :-(

Little update

not much going on in the moment, i got all the paperwork sorted out and oh surprise the bike does not have 4k miles on it but the dmv refused to tell me how many, even on the title it says 4k but that is not the actual mileage, after searching for some after market gauges for quite some time i was lucky and scored sv gauges in perfect working for $160 shipped :-D otherwise i would have tried bandit gauges
otherwise it has now a yosh full system, headlight, signals etc
pics later
