Looking to get rid of at least one more bike before the snow flies here.. perfect winter project for somebody.
Picked up this damaged '05 SV650 in the spring and spent the summer hunting down and buying parts for a frame & GSXR front end swap. MANY hours hunting all this down. Have almost everything needed for a sweet running bike.
Engine starts right up and sounds solid. Est about 20-25k on the motor, street miles.
$1,500 NESR price, so far haven't put this out anywhere else.
Here's what was damaged:
- Front forks wrecked
- Crossmember (non-structural) section of the frame split at a weld by the radiator. it appears straight still and may well be salvaged but would not ride it
- Muffler toast
- Rearsets signfiicantly bent, but still seem to work(ish)
- Radiator smushed
- headlight missing
- Speedo gauge/digital don't work but all lights do
Parts purchased for rebuild (included in sale):
- Clean straight 2005 frame
- Clean straight 2005 GSXR600 front end (forks & triples)
- New Yuasa battery YTX12-BS
- New black china radiator
- Motion pro clutch cable, cable adjuster & nut
- krator frame sliders
- GSXR steering damper
- Jardine muffler
Also have a spare 2003 frame & swingarm I could throw in for a bit extra?
So, all the major bits are here for a good bike. I have a title for the damaged frame and the new frame but haven't transfered to my name yet. If you want to get it street legal we can get it worked out, and you'll need to find a headlight & speedo.
Kind of a bummer to let go after all the effort sourcing parts - would be an excellent winter project for someone though.
I'll get some more pics of all parts if there's any interest.
If I still have this when the snow comes it'll probably be next to impossible to move this bastard from my shed though!
