Second, I like the minimalist design that closely mimics the stock bodywork instead of other aftermarket fairings that cover the entire side of the motorcycle. First, because I had this exact same bodywork on the bike when it was put into storage all those years ago. Beyond the new tire and brake caliper rebuild, a new bikini fairing and belly pan were sourced from Sebimoto in the Czech Republic. ThereвЂ™s a lot packed into the above photo. And they look good as new also with this fresh coat of black paint. Before:ДЄfter getting rebuilt, the stock Tokico calipers work just fine. But young me was vain and liked the bling factor, so here we are.

ItвЂ™s kinda strange this rule still exists today since these forks (even if you upgrade the internals) donвЂ™t provide that much of an advantage. Many race classes donвЂ™t allow fork conversions, meaning this bike is bumped up to different classes where it would be less competitive. Had I to do it over again I probably would have kept the stock forks and upgraded the (crappy) internals and brakes.

The only change I made was replacing the original warped rotors with these wave discs and swapping the stock master cylinder with a Brembo unit which, IвЂ™m ashamed to admit, I donвЂ™t remember anything about. I never worried about a speedometer either, since the bike was going to live at the track.ДЄctually, the conversion was done a long time ago, but itвЂ™s worth pointing out in the odd chance anyone actually reading this isnвЂ™t familiar with the SV. The forks are also about 20mm shorter than the stockers, reducing trail slightly, but I donвЂ™t remember it being a problem. The conversion itself was incredibly simple, as itвЂ™s basically a plug-and-play swap other than exchanging some headstock bearings.

Correct! The complete front end conversion (fork, triples, wheels, calipers) comes courtesy of a 2004 GSX-R600 вЂ“ the first year it had an inverted fork and radial brake calipers. Eagle eyes might notice the front end doesnвЂ™t look like a normal SV front. So whatвЂ™s changed? Starting at the front, the old, rotted tires were replaced with PirelliвЂ™s Supercorsa TD tire вЂ“ one of my personal favorites. But (some of) you wanted an update, and here it is. And best of all вЂ“ it runs! Being a track-only bike, and with the world basically shut down due to Coronavirus, I have yet to ride it. However, itвЂ™s a lot farther along than I ever could have accomplished in this time. Unfortunately, the shop owner recently decided to go a different direction with the business, closing the service side to focus on other projects. So, I sent the bike and a bunch of spare and/or replacement parts I scrounged up to Wrench Motorcycle Service to put back together. Well, I basically donвЂ™t have spare time anymore with a young family at home. I said at the time I was going to bring the bike back to life in my spare time, and a few of you have even asked about an update. ItвЂ™s now been 18 months since I got the bike back in its battered and tattered state. You can see the bike went through quite the transformation in just the three years since I bought it.
