sv650 build... round 2

Well its that time of the year when you cant do anything but fight the cold and the snow here in wv. I decided back in october to give the ol sv a revamping once again. New paint, powdercoating, chain and sprockets, fork oil, and misc other stuff i cant think of right now. here are some before pics and ill post a photoshop rendering of what im goin for. we shall see how many things i change between now and then. i already have it 80% stripped down, waiting on some help to pull the motor.

that orange is actually paint. but they guy that is doing my powdercoating deals with a company that will color match any color including candy/pearl/metallic whatever it is. they can do it. you just have to send them a sample of the paint. that color is house of kolor tangelo pearl. pbc32.

fast forward a few months and its finally done. close to the Photoshop i originally did and now its time to ride. im glad its done, but it was fun while it lasted. i dont think i need to list what all was done, its pretty self explanatory lol.
