Project Black Ice (sv650) begins.

[FROSTY:Me]

After a practice day down at manfeild I thought Black Ice had potental to be a race winner.I did a heap of research and have a plan of whats gotta be done.
The first thing to do was decent suspension.Ive been lucky enough to get a gsxr600 rear shock set already for about my weight.(thanks MR)
With the help of the team at Motohause this was fitted and the battery mount hacked away till it worked. The front end was restripped and the oil and shimms lightened a touch.still very spongy pud under brakes and wallowy but at least ridable.
Engine wise I've fitted the factory filter back in then I had the bike dyno'd and its putting out 62.8hp but the power curve dropps off steeply at 9200rpm so Ive got punch out of corners but run out of grunt pretty quickly.
Watch this space though Ive got a gsxr600 front end to go in there now to stiffen the front end a tadd.
Power wise I dunno. I want at least the same grunt the injected SV's have outa the box -Im hoping someday that a pretty box of bits will turn up --but thats at least a month away.

Are you talking about 911 frosty?

[FROSTY:Me]

911 has very negative meaning--so the bike is now Officially Black Ice

Cool sounding name for your bike Tony, but a bit risky. Hope the bike does not prove to be as treacherous as it's name sake

Hey Frosty. Just caught up with this thread.
I was on the SV650 at the Fred Merkel Taupo thing with you. Good to hear you have gone SV for racing. I will do this summer what I should have done 2 summers ago and convert my SV into a race bike. See you around and hope to swop info.
Cheers

[FROSTY:Me]

heres where we are up to so far --sorta the naked truth ya could say
no fairings no front brakes, no tailpiece --ohh man I need to pull my finger out.
Hey cleve--so when we gonna see ya out there?--are you running a nekkid or faired sv? -

[Cleve]

asap Frosty.
Contacted Just Fairings in Hamilton about GSXR600 race fairings they do that can fit onto SV's.
http://www.justfairings.co.nz/SV650_01.html
About $800 for the lot. Still looking around.

[FROSTY:Me]

cleve--Ive got a complete fairing set from a gsxr600 fairing top/bottom/blade/tailpiece. --SVS who races another sv650 fitted one to his
gimme a yell if you want the one ive got --sure wont be $800
