2007 SV650: Project better late than never

[Kaan]

how about something like this front and rear? something thinner and not as round?

100% bling and overkill, but I would do the same thing

Or move signals down onto fork with a smaller led unit. Most super sports have them down by the engine anyways until they started putting them in the mirrors. Are you running mirrors? On the back of those could work too if you are.

It just comes down the issue of LEDs being less visible. I will be running one mirror on the left side. The bar end mirrors interfere with my throttle hand.

turn signals are useless on motorcycles anyways.

He's right

use your left arm... flex son! I remove all my turn signals anyway.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a rider use a turn signal. I would think a someone makes a cluster of LED lights as a turn signal that would be bright enough.

Yup, did some digging and somebody just posted these up on Reddit. Supposedly really good looks and light. Ordered from and rear.

I always signal.

Ok you animals, you got exactly what you wanted. Happy? Because I am. They really cleaned up the front and they are bright as hell. I'll do the rears in the next day or so. 

[JPolen01]

Looks much better! Glad we were able to spend your money.

I was over here thinking cars were just expensive...

[Kaan]

that's the good on a budget stuff.

All of that is worth more than half the purchase price of my bike...

$100/a mirror. Good grief. At least the hindle exhaust is a full system. That's actually pretty reasonable in price.

[Kaan]

yeah but the shape of the mirror matches your turn signals!

[V1GiLaNtE]

Small update for project SV-R. I noticed when bleeding the brakes the caliper pistons where a little sticky. Instead of going through the hassle of buying a rebuild kit for $100+ I just went ahead and picked up a set of used calipers on eBay with aftermarket stainless steel lines for $50. Stainless steel lines cost $100+ alone. Just needed to pick up a double banjo bolt since I'll be switching from 1 line from the MC to 2 lines and a few crush washers. $60 all in. I'll just sell the old ones for like $35 and call it a day. Otherwise bike is riding and running well! Also scored an OEM pilon seat cowl for waaaayy cheap. Helps clean up the rear.

What kind of motor is this? That picture really shows how angled that cylinder bank is.

v-twin

v-twin

90 degree v-twin to be exact.
