Well I have always been a Buell fan and I am actually picking up my first Buell Fri. but I have been lucky enough to have a few great friends that are Buell fanatics/racers that never shunned me for riding that "other" bike, the SV650.

My 650 has been through a few iterations so I thought I would show some of you my progress.

As you should all know the SV does not have a great suspension on it from the factory. Many swap out the GSXR forks onto the SV but I wanted a challenge and I love the Buell so here is what i ended up with.

Here she is the day I bought her 08/08


With a full body and new paint 05/09


"Final" form. I was happy with it. 07/09




After a young woman decided that I wasnt worth stopping for. 09/09


Christmas project 12/09


And in its current form. This was taken south of Daytona 03/10





Here is my list.
2004 SV650
Lower Triple forks and wheel off 2004 Firebolt
Billet top Triple
ZTL2 Brake system
Sharkskinz Body
Honda F3 rear wheel
2008 GSXR1000 rear shock

Thanks, sometimes deciding what not to change is harder than deciding what to change.

VERY nice Suzuki. I liked 03/09 best, but I am very jealous of your ZTL2 caliper from 03/10.
