whoa! man i'm glad you're alright, that could have gone downhill really fast with that tree in your path. speedy recovery and sounds like you're in good spirits!

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - WRXtranceformed - 12-03-2018

Wow man glad you are okay! At least it was a low speed wreck and your injuries were minor in the grand scheme of things!

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - Jake - 12-03-2018

Damn, glad you are okay and on the fast track to recovery, all things considered. Definitely +1 to wearing your gear 100% of the time.

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - Goodspeed - 12-03-2018

Holy crap, glad you're relatively alright after that!  Best of luck for a speedy recovery

Glad it was only the arm and you are doing well!

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - V1GiLaNtE - 12-04-2018

Thanks crew! I'm in good spirits and this doesn't discourage me from riding. Though I may have to admit to myself it might be time to hang up the helmet in the winter..

Plate and screws. Doc said I could keep it in a brace or surgery. I opted surgery as I have many more active years left and want optimum mobility!

Super easy to fix! Looking for a GSXR front end now!

if you find a set that is good without calipers, I have a set of gsxr front calipers Wink

Go on... What year?

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - BLINGMW - 12-04-2018

ow. Glad you're mostly ok!

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - Kaan - 12-04-2018

I'll have to dig them up and figure it out. I cant find my purchase email... oops.

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - V1GiLaNtE - 12-05-2018

ANNNDDDD YOLO. Left fork seal is leaking, but I'll use that as an opportunity to replace both seals and the oil. Cool

Sell your forks to buy a spoon engine.

I should be a pro after this. Got the MotionPro fork fluid tool so that will make the job much easier refilling.

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - V1GiLaNtE - 12-06-2018

The great rebuild of 2018. Took about an hour to remove the old front. Will sell off:
  • Brakes ($100)
  • Forks ($125)
  • Stem + triple tree($150)
  • Front Wheel + Tire ($200)
I expect to get $400-500 for everything. The naked stems and triple trees are worth at least $150 alone.

She's ready for the donor Gixxer swap coming in tomorrow. It's basically plug and play. I'll have to spend some time getting the gauges, headlight, and speedo working.

*walks in front door*.... *sees 4 empty beers on table*... *hears metal music going nutz in the garage*... *thinks to self, "yup, that man is removing the forks"*. Sure enough lol

Damn man, glad that gnarly scar is all you're gonna have to deal with!

I gotta ask, how "instant" is the usability of your arm?  I broke mine (radius and ulna, arm was bent, it was ugly) in HS and chose no surgery.  Obviously the overall healing time was longer for me but I was always curious how quickly you'd be back to normal function with plates and screws.

I have a 4-6 week recovery time, but I had good mobility while it was broken so I anticipate 4 weeks. I'm using it more and more every day.

Also, I'm so erect right now:

I don't visit a project thread for a week and miss out on bionic arms. I feel like maybe there's a Most Interesting Man in the World meme here referencing "I don't always work on projects..."

The reason I stopped riding is because there are wet leaves on the road here like eight months a year. It took me one front wheel lockup where I almost ended up in the back of a randomly stopped car before I decided maybe riding and I needed to take a break.

Good to hear you're doing well-ish and haven't been spooked.

RE: 2007 SV650: Project better late than never - V1GiLaNtE - 12-07-2018

Plan of attack for Gixxer front end swap:

  1. Disassemble fork and de-grease/clean everything including calibers and wheel
  2. Get triple trees mounted up in head tube
  3. Rebuild forks (oil seals, dust seals, new 5WT fork oil)
  4. Install forks, clip-ons, and mount controls
  5. Figure out how to mount headlight and gauges
  6. Install new tire up front
  7. Ride it
  8. Work through building "Hall Effect" sensor for speedometer
I've already pulled off the controls from the GSXR front since you reuse the SV controls. Should put some more dollars back in pocket by selling off those items too.

Speaking of which, anybody have access to a fork spring compressor tool?
