    Howdy folks and thanks for the welcome. I was born in Fort Wroth Texas in 1947, reborn in Alamogordo New Mexico in 1959 (my first motor bike) and been riding ever since. After 60 years and many motorcycles I have come to the conclusion that the most nearly perfect all-arounder (for me) is a "standardized" Gen 1 SV650. I had a first year model which I left stock (other than shimming the carb needles). Now I want to sell my DR350 and make a desert sled style D/P based on the SV650 frame and motor . I'm thinking YZ front end, #10 bend bars, 19/18 hoops but I am open to suggestion, especially on the rear suspension, wheel sizes and high pipe exhaust. 'preciate ya'll.

    Comparing spec numbers to the KLR650 I'm thinking a GenII SV is a great platform for a "go anywhere" bike. A YZ front-end with a 19" wheel laced-up would "get-er'done" I reckon. The biggest challenge is the exhaust. I saw this http://www.holeshot.com/suzuki/sv/65...e-slipon/03-09 but wonder if anyone here knows of anyone who has welded up a set of high pipes for this bike.
