I bought my '08 SV650SF with a vision of turning it into a mid-sized sport/tourer. This I have completed and we now reap the rewards of getting away as often as possible.

The fuel injected, 90 degree V-Twin, 645cc engine proves to have heaps of torque and will pull well, even 2-up from quite low rev ranges but is definitely happier above the 4½-5k rev range. With detachable luggage, GPS, Corbin front and sheep skin covered gel rear seats and a few other mods it has proved to be a worthy mid-sized, solo or 2-up sport/tourer with excellent fuel economy. Whether on the interstate, a country highway, around town or on the twisties the SV650 continues to prove itself to be a very well rounded, light, nimble and versatile machine.

..... After the sport/tourer transformation it now has the following mods and accessories: - M4 Polished Standard Mount Slip-on - K&N Air Filter - SV1000/S Snorkel - Dynojet Research Power Commander III USB - Heal Tech GIPro + ATRE - Conti Motion 120/70-ZR17 Sport/Touring Front Tire - Conti Motion 160/60-ZR17 Sport/Touring Rear Tire - Fenda Extenda - Osram Silverstar 12V 60/55W H4 Headlamp Bulbs - 2007 Kawasaki ZX14 Rear Shock - Gorilla Cycle Alarm With 2-Way Paging System - Rear Seat Tail Cowl - Givi Tubular Sidecase Racks and Top Rack with Givi E45N Side Cases and E45NJ Top Case - MRA Vario Screen - Corbin Leather Seat - Alaska Leather Pillion Type 1 (Rider Seat), Long Hair Sheepskin Seat Cover - AMS Passenger''s Sheepskin Covered Gel Pad - Garmin Quest GPS - RAM Handlebar Mounting Kit # RAM-B-149-GA15U for Garmin Quest GPS - Nelson Rigg CL-350 (17-27 liter) Magnetic Tank Bag - Grip Puppy Foam Grips - Tech Spec Gripster Sport Tank Pad Set (High Fusion) - Suzuki 03+ Lower Fairing Sliders - Powerlet (BMW Style) 12 Volt Accessory Outlet - Generic 8mm Swingarm Spools - SV650 Quick Release Tank Pin Kit (not a retail part) - Clear Alternatives Clear Front Turn Signal Lens - Vista Universal Cruise Control - Touring Sprocket Combo - Buell Foot Peg Mod
