Whats your mods then?

You have probably seen all these gongs go up on various members. a full explanation will be given in due course by an Admin, however one award which many qualify for is the "Mod Monkey" award.

This will be given by the mods and Admin for those members who have strayed away from Suzukis original plan and have changed either mechanical/visual look of the bike. It is also given to those members who have made significant contributions in the R+D of the bike, for example a member who has used his bike as a test bed for R+D of on of the air kits currently on sale (you know who you are!). It will not be given out just because an undertray and cans have been added. Difficult call I know, but have a look below

Anyway, I justified my spanner with this lot;

JHS TEKA tune-up (110 at the Rear Wheel)
FUEL Exhaust High Level 3DFX Cans
Suzuki OE double bubble Screen
Chewy's Stickers
Chewy's Engine Cover Bolts
Chewy's Bike Bolts
Chewy's Mirror Extenders
Carbon / Anodised Tax Disc Holder
Metisse Grills
Ermax undertray with;
21W replacement indicators (up from the OE 5w blade bulbs)
Dichroic Rainbow Filters (Temporarily removed for Summer)
Blue Ice H4 Bulbs (don't really get full benefit with the above)
Ermax hugger
R+G Frame Crash Bungs
R+G Front fork crash bungs
Suzuki Rear seat cowl
Bum Wraps modified Rider Seat (much better for me than the Gel seat :pinch: :pinch: :pinch: )
Goodridge Brake Hoses
Goodridge Clutch Hoses
EBC HH Brake Pads
Pressure guage indicator tyre caps (motrax)
Oxford Heated Grips
Datatool immobiliser
JHS Pipercross air filter, no top box
Rear swing arm bobbins
Site Clothing
Front Fenda Extenda
Acumen DigiGear indicator
Clear alternatives Front indicator lenses
Suzuki Yoke Cover
Suzuki Tank Cover
"Modified" Registration Plate / Private plate
Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Rear shock
Rosmoto Rearsets in Blue
Clear Alternatives Rear lens piece
1 off stainless steel heel plates, courtesy of a friend and a big laser cutter
Stainless Steel Bar ends, courtesy of Ebay (ÂŁ11.99)
Blue 3M reflective wheel trim (bit of chav bling ;) )


BEEN AND GONE

G-Force Stainless Steel Round Cans
Suzuki Original Gel Seat (Never got on with it)
Quill Carbon Cans
Chewy's Angle mod
Puig Double Bubble Screen
Ford RS clear indicators with yellow bulbs (DAMN! those 5w bulbs :angry: )
Tre Mod
Hamicad Grilles (Now belonging to Svvmax)
SV Mania Crash Bungs (FOR SALE!)
To Do;

Blue LEDs to be fitted to the Dash (Chewys of course)
The billet piece that goes in the tank screws up the front (carbon)


Now this is not to say that just because you spent a lot of money on your bike you can only have it. I am mindfull of members circumstances. The other criteria is making the bike INDIVIDUAL (Look at NoNoRickys Zebra!), so there you go.......Put up the mods, show a pic so we can all see and Admin will hand you a spanner.

Seat side panels painted...

Been meaning to do this mod for a while, so yesterday while I was in Halfords I thought "what the heck"! Bought some plastic primer, some "Rover Titanium Silver" and some clear lacquer. Rode home, stripped off the seat side panels, cleaned them up & began spraying - 2 x primer coats, 2 x top coats, finally 2 x clear lacquer coats - with a quick rub of some 1000 grade paper in between coats. Have a look at the results & see what you think. paint match wasn't 100%, but it looks okay - it'll soon get weathered & scuffed anyhow, like the rest of the bike :buggerd:

Given this mod (Unique? Probably not, but I think it looks good), my black cans, seat pad, seat cowl, screen, chewy's stickers, TRE, my willingness to help other SVers (well it was Alun who only lives 5 mins away from me), and cos I'm a nice guy :rofl: can I have a gong? Please!

Added: Thanks for the Spanner guys... now I belong & will stay forever :cool:

What a difference!

I have completed my '03 GSXR 750 front end swap!!! The feedback from the forks is soooo much better than with the stock forks. The bike is also much more flickable. It feels like it's lost a ton of weight. The extra 10mm on the rotors also makes a noticable difference.

Here's the list of parts I used on it.
'03 GSXR 750 forks, and Triples ($175 on ebay)
320mm EBC brake rotors from a TL ($150 on ebay)
Spiegler LSL off set match clipons ($179 +$40 for the bars from Spiegler) Very nice product!
New Grips ($20 on ebay)
New Bar Ends ($20 on ebay)

I reused the SV's wheel, axle, brake calipers, controls, and front fender (home made a bracket out of carbon fiber so it would fit)

Decided to play today; so thought I'd update this:

TRE Mod (homemade, thanks to Andy)
PAIR system removed (blocked-off and valve dismantled)
Techlusion TFI controller fitted (lives in toolbox)
Set-up suspension to suit me, not some ultralight wizkid...
Balanced fuel injection (Carbtune works well)

Handlebar risers (1" up and 1" back)
Comfort clean grips
Black mirrors
Bum Wraps seat mod. - oh joy :banana:
Clutch slave cylinder mod. fitted (added additional gasket)
Stainlees steel bolts - added in various places
Ermax nose fairing (GSX1400) - needed modifying but excellent wind deflection performance
SV1000 Reservoir covers
16T front sprocket (OEM 17T was a bitch to remove :ranting: ) - speedo is now about 5 mph out :no:
Chewy's tank raising kit
Chewy's SV logo on screen (finally got rid of the Ermax one)

What didn't work:
Buell lowered pegs - setback too far and hurt :crazy: Shame, as lower was better.
Silicon seat pad inserted into seat - still uncomfortable & got bloody hot!
Thundernose fairing (Banditmania) still got wind blasted
Winters here :cold: so had another play today:

Speedohealer fitted - that should keep me legal :whistle:
Stainlees steel bar ends - slightly heavier than stock and had to use OEM kit as the SV1000S dosn't have the expanding rubber mount inside the handlebars.
Chewy's blanking plates - makes the spark plugs easier to get at :yes:

All from guys on this forum - Thanks :first:

Finally!

The Yosh 2 into 1 has finally been installed. :banana: :banana: :banana:

Oh she sounds soooooo sweet :devil2:

In the pic you can also get a view of how much I've had her lowered. That's a 3 3/4" drop for those of you who don't know how short I am :blush:

(pick on me all you want for the shovel - that's the last mod I'm doing on her so I'll know when she's done :bleh: )


Special thanks go to SVRanger for the Yosh pipe and suzuker for the PCIII :hug:

Looking good, but the bike is low indeed!!! :shocking:
..... and the lowering links look like shite from the rust. With the salt air here I was fighting a losing battle trying to keep them nice :(

I'm always careful about the clearance when I ride. Even the speed bumps by the marina haven't been a problem :sweatdrop
