SV650

New bike arrives: 2004 SV650
	The SV comes to us as a theft recovery bike - it's not in bad shape, needs a tear down and rebuild. That's standard practice for every new bike on the Pappawheelies Team. Follow the progress while we whip this bike into tip top race shape!	Another view of this bike - including some of the fixes the thieves used - shelf paper was the repair of choice - and enough to keep us giggling in the garage while we admired their handy work!
	A close up of the shelf paper carbon fiber "pimp" fix for a broken fairing. Pretty snazzy!!	What is the REAL purpose of this shelf paper? Do people use this for something seen by other people? I'm picturing all sorts of hideous craft projects...
Race prep begins!
	lining up the race bodywork - it's rough, but it fits!	Another view - impressive how well this knock off bodywork fits. We'll be ordering Hotbodies bodywork before midyear, this bodywork was pre-sponsorship.

Bike is completely torn down - rebuilding begins
	The teardown and rebuild begins - the frame and swing arm are painted and waiting to be reassembled.	The motor...just waiting...
	the rest of the bike is in these bins. 6 weeks and counting - we'll make it!!
The bike is assembled and the body work begins
	Bodywork was a little rough - but before I had hotbodies sponsorship, I'd already purched what is basically a home made set off of Ebay...	With 4 race bikes this season - there was LOTS of work to do - bodywork plus spares was overwhelming! Thank you Tim Boyd for the hard work!!
	The tank is on - nice can too!! It's looking less like a bin of parts and more like a race bike now!!	The bodywork - waiting to be drilled and mounted.
	Tail section - the roughest piece of the bunch - hopefully nobody will notice!	Louie's hard at work - he's a mechanical Genious and my biggest supporter
	LOOK!! It's a Race Bike ... just need some numbers - coming soon!
	it's turning YELLOW in here!!
