I'll do my best to find some pics of it. My hard drive that had all of my pictures on it took a dump and I don't think I had any of it in my photobucket. I'll check just to be sure though.

I got all the bits mounted. I still need to bleed the brakes and do some minor wiring, but it should be rideable in the next few days.  160mm rear tire:  Clean trees:  I can't wait to ride it!!!

Super Nice. Any idea how much lighter those rims are? =
saved about 7lbs up front and almost 10 in the back, even with the additional disc up front and the 160 vs 130 on back

Yeah, the chain still needs tightening. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be getting a different seat, not sure which yet though, but I want a Corbin Gunfighter.

Looks great. Woodcraft clip-ons?

No, the complete front end (trees, forks, clip ons etc) is all stock SV650s. I had a machinst press on some 7/8"id/1"od sleeves to allow me to run the bonnie controls.

Well done. Gonna put the cans back or are you running TT style exhaust?

I'm going to put the cans back on. It sounds great with the Bub system, I like the look now but it sounds really raspy and bad.

Jeff, sweet looking ride.... she looks mean bro. I think the Corbin seat would be an excellent choice, just what is needed to complete "the look".

updated pics:    I've only ridden it about 5 miles to shake it down, I did a little tweaking and I'll ride it again this week. I hate that it gets dark before I get home though...

Excellent Job - looks great, might even give the design guru's at Triumph a bit to ponder over - don't worry bout the puritans I got a pizzleing when I put a twin disc front end (XS1100)on my 1971 Commando then he went for a ride and is considering the same conversion.
Brilliant job & doesn't detract from the Style whatsoever, and I bet she handles sweet
