Let me know if you are interested in selling the lower.

Other way around...

stock = 1/4 turn to WFO

modded = 1/5 turn to WFO

You don't have to turn the throttle as far to get WOT. You won't have to re-grip to get to full throttle...

Chuck, are you planning on racing that thing this year? Or just using it for track days?

I believe it's the other way around 1/5 turn is a smaller increment that 1/4.

Track days this year. Racing is definitely not in the budget.

I guess it'll never be as cool as when Dan owned it.

Bummer.

What I want to know is when did you buy my old F3? or are you just starting a collection of '97 vehicles?

You never know. Annalisa picked it up from a guy in the Tiverton, RI area last July.

Got the fairing stay in and mounted the tach. Found out that the clutch cable is just a little long. It hits the tach mounting bracket when I cut the bars all the way to the right.

Does anyone know of a shorter (say 3-4" shorter) cable that would fit the SV?

Note how long the clutch cable is in this picture:

**BLACK SQUIRREL** · 03-25-09, 09:34 PM

I have no idea.

But another key made as that one is ready to break.

**The Snowman** · 04-13-09, 08:26 PM

One step closer . . .

Finally got the windscreen in (yes, I am now in agreement that Puig screens are much better than Zero Gravity screens), so I mounted all of the bodywork.

I'm pleased at the way it came out for a first-timer.

I am very impressed Chuck. Only a few years ago you were afraid to change your own oil. Good work

I'm spoiled by the ease in which the front wheel on the CBR comes off and goes right back on though. The SV's front brakes are a pain in the ass to get back over the rotors.

**Pittenger5** · 04-13-09, 08:56 PM

I can appreciate the racial harmony you have going there. It truly is a united bike.

I finally took her out for a very short ride around my complex yesterday. This is going to be an extremely fun bike to ride. I wish I had a place to open her up.

I don't think my neighbors were too impressed though. It is a little loud in our cul-de-sac.

**The Snowman** · 06-20-09, 04:34 PM

Well, after 5 months and limited time to work on it, I can finally say that the SV is ready for the track. I didn't feel like taking the tank off, so I simply didn't paint it.

I now REALLY can't wait for 7/20-22.

**duganc1717** · 06-20-09, 08:04 PM

Looks great!
GLad I'm not the only one that spent day painting, your looks like it came out much better than mine.

Actually, I painted it over the last 2 weekends that I was home. I just changed the oil and put it back together today.

**duganc1717** · 06-20-09, 08:24 PM

I'm thinking I should have hired you to paint my 900RR.

**kb1** · 06-20-09, 10:38 PM

Looks sweet man!

**GixerJockey** · 06-20-09, 11:09 PM

Lookin good Chuck. Now paint number plates on it and come race that bitch!
