Quick update…
1. I just got a huge box of parts from Bike Bandit, so I guess I will be busy installing/upgrading stuff on the bike soon. My Yoshimura exhaust isn’t here yet, so I might hold off until I get it and dedicate one day to be Bike Fixerupper day.
2. I placed wanted ads on Craigslist, ADVRider and the F650 forums for a used seat for a 2005 F650CS, the bike that I will ride in Europe this summer. No responses yet, which isn’t entirely surprising.
3. I have a dream route in place for the Europe ride. As with all motorcycle routes, it’s pretty optimistic for a 30 day ride.
4. The SV’s battery died last night and I needed a jump this morning to get her on the road. This is getting to be irksome.
5. I give up on the Corbin seat I got for the SV a couple of weeks ago. It is lower and harder than the stock seat and makes the bike extremely uncomfortable to ride. It’s harder to touch the ground and to reach the handlebars. So I’m back with my stock seat. It’s starting to rip, but I reckon I can probably get it recovered and call it good.
6. I am plagued with Zumo charging issues and am trying to figure out if it’s the unit or the mount. Most likely both, with my luck.
Suzuki made a gel seat for the SV that was super comfy. I think it was a little shorter than stock, too! Mmm, happy butt.
A stock seat? Never heard of it!
It’s an aftermarket seat but still made by Suzuki. I had one on my SVS for years and loved it. First paragraph here: http://www.bluepoof.com/motorcycles/1001/102301.html
Oh that looks really sleek *and* comfy! I’d love to get one of them only I wouldn’t even know what to search for or how much it would cost!
And my word, your bike looks shiny compared to mine! :P
Ever thought about a Bagster seat for the SV? A lot of my buddies got them for different bikes and everyone seems to be more than pleased. A little expensive, though..
As for “shiny”… we had storm tonight, the cover was blown away. Then we had rain, which obviously came straight from Sahara. Guess how the bike looks now…. ;)
@Tobi: I remember checking out Bagster tank covers a long time ago. Looks like they don’t do any Suzuki seats! http://www.bagster.com/en/showroom-sellerie.php?id=5
Yeah, you’re right. Didn’t know that..
You might wanna check this out, though: http://www.bagster.com/moduleselle/application2007/color-normal.php?lang=uk
No SV650 in there either. :(
But yes! http://www.bagster.com/moduleselle/application2007/color-normal.php?lang=uk
Ok, the direct link doesn’t work, but you can choose Bike -> SUZUKI -> SV 650 -> 2001
