A pretty SV650 Cafe racer
I''ve been looking for some inspiration to make some changes to my SV650 that I bought last week.
I found this really nice SV650 Cafe racer,I was so impressed that I took some screenshots.
.
In the description he says the bike stands him the grand total of about £2500,I think he's done a good job.Full video is here

As the owner of a ‘fugly’ curvy Sv, I think he’s done a really good job of that with a small budget.
Guess it will appeal more to gentlemen of a certain age rather than the ‘transformers’ obsessed youngsters!

Very old fashioned proportions and the seat unit looks huge. Needs a hand fashioned, polished alloy tank to complete the look!

Has someone sourced a job lot of those 70s style single headlight fairings and is flogging them to bike builders at a bite your hand off price?

A fairing is useful . Brown seats are for twats with beards.The Spin Doctor wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 1:16 pm Has someone sourced a job lot of those 70s style single headlight fairings and is flogging them to bike builders at a bite your hand off price?

Re: A pretty SV650 Cafe racer
Fully agree about fairings... first thing I bought for my 125 was a set of lower bars and a handlebar fairing! I just think they could have moved the styling on a little
And I really don't like brown seats.
