So, close to a decade ago I bought a kit car - SDR v-strom wr3. I've posted a few pics on here of stuff I've been doing but I figured I'd start a thread.
It's been in a perpetual state of"almost finished" for a few years, but I'm determined to get it on the road this rear, assuming I can get it IVAed.
Anyways... Late summer I took the engine out due to a leaking water pump. It went from this:
To this (sorry couldn't find a better photo)
So then I did a few jobs...
Fitted some baffles:
Made some headers:
Made and painted a frame to cover the gearbox (both to protect it but also to strengthen the gearbox mounting - another builder snapped the frame
Made many brackets because... I went happy with the first attempt holding the header tank, I thought the turbo could do with some support, I wasn't happy with the location of the fuel filter, etc
