This is my first street bike, I picked up a 2003 SV650s. \
Up first to change - Color...Not a big fan of the burnt copper color Suzuki came up with. started stripping down and onto sanding
the holes where the frame sliders are suppose to go was in bad shape..
These will be removed on the restore of the fairing
all the repairs are circled in Sharpie
after curing - The sanding starts
The left and right fairing are not quite ready for paint - still a lot of sanding to do to make all the repairs flow.
but the rest of them are primed and sanded
Also fabricated a rear hugger of fiberglass using the old rear tire.
started with cloth to get the shape and moved onto matting.
it still needs a lot of sanding to be ready for final cut of shape, mounting and primer/Paint
The Rear tire and chain has been replaced. Did not do the sprocket just yet as I am tight on funds - having surgery on Tuesday.
Let me know what you guys think, I am open for constructive criticism.
