Gen2 SV650 - forks, radiator, race tail

[Petorius]

Yup, that happened. Looking for forks, race tail

Edit: went with a new Delkevic radiator for $110 out the door.

What??? What happened?

[Petorius]

I took a tumble off the side of 12 going Downtown. Lesson learned, do NOT go off the track at NYST.

How bad is the radiator. I had success sending mine out to Myler's Radiator Repair in Utah. Roughly 1/4 the price of replacing it.

Maybe I'll try that, it is probably repairable. Also considering a Gen1 radiator (narrower) or a $100 ebay replacement.

[nhbubba]

I could not find a $100 ebay option... although I was shopping for a V-Strom and the rads are not interchangeable due to mounting hardware.

[Petorius]

This is what I'm eyeing, but I'm going to do a bit more research on mounting a more crash-proof radiator before I buy anything.

I'm glad you're OK, riding by your bike in T12 I couldn't tell if the front wheel was still there with all the mud.

Shitty

If you're able to repair fiberglass, I have a trashed race tail you can have for a 6 pack.

Thanks man, nice to meet you this weekend. There was SO MUCH mud. I'm thinking about wearing my leathers in the shower.

Send me a pic? I may take you up on that if its in better shape than mine. The mud ate a few chunks of mine entirely.

If your not planning on racing it may be a good excuse for and upsidedown front end setup.

Mike Randi (theducman) has a couple pairs of 2nd gen SV forks he may be willing to sell. Shoot him a PM.

Thanks, will do. Apparently GMD can straighten forks but I think these will be questionable. I'll get Kates' opinion on Friday.

Planning to race next year, want to stay SS legal. Maybe thats foolish for one race per weekend.

It's not. GSXR forks are totally overrated and once you put them on the urge to build the motor starts to grow.

Build the whole bike to LWSS spec and you're going to be awfully competitive in the GTL, LWSB and LWGP classes.

Build the whole bike to LWSS spec and drop 20 seconds a lap and you're going to be awfully competitive in the GTL, LWSB and LWGP classes.

I think thats what you meant
