I would like to share my build and get feed back and discussion.
I started with my desire to build a cafe racer but due to budget I found my first choices of bikes were to expensive.
Then I was offered a gen1 sv650 for $500 dollars.
I knocked it back at first because it didn't match the picture in my head, but a friend said their a great bike .
So over the next week I came up with a plan, which to date I have more or less stuck with.
First step get the bike fix up register it and see how it goes.
It only needed a chock cable, clutch switch bypass. fork seals and the speed drive repaired.
It has since been styled to match the drawing I did while making my plan, and I have been riding it 6 months.
All that is left is a cafe racer tank which I have but will be moding it to match the plan. and performance mods to match the plan.
then strip it down for paint and polish. pictures are rubbish I know
