barwell1992 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi well i crashed the sv in the back of a car ooops not my fault but ohh well any way the forks and most of the front end was smashed so this is where im at, all panels on (need new seat cowl the other one was smashed) My make shift head bearing tool, lol old race cut so i can hammer the new tapered race in the cutting of the old race took ages must be hardened steal new race pressed in new bearings in tided the mess of cables up at the front, moved to behind the head stock, had to cut the air box snorkel to make sure it could breath enough with the cables there New (to me) can, stubbied ART but has been sealed as it was leaking erm well the front end is off a 2000 aprilia RSV mille the brembo callipers for the new front end, they were in a right state cleaned and mounted up on the forks (also cleaned and polished up) Rotors, these are pretty hefty and very thick compared to the stock ones on my bike the forks have a custom axle made to centre a triumph t599 wheel that i have, the problem is the calipers are to far in so i need to get 2mm machined off of the caliper body but my dads work can do that, also waiting for the yokes to arrive as i have had the sv stem pressed in to the RSV yoke, then i need to get brake lines and a trail tech vapor speedo so thats what i need to order next so thats where i am with the sv at this moment in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted May 17, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2010 so did you get cash in hand for the accident that wasnt your fault, and how come it wasnt your fault anyway? you drove into the back of someone. i mean think about it, if a car drives into the back of you on your bike you mean it's not their fault? I think it is myself, you might think they were not concentrating, too fast, too near...or am i missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barwell1992 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 yup your missing a big part of the story lmao, it was my dads car that i hit,we were going down a hill and he was draging his brakes i was costing he slamed the brakes on and skided to a dead stop because of a oncomming camper and a narrow road in devon, so i wrenched on the brakes locked up cut the bike out slid a few Metres then the front griped fliped over the front of the bike and hit the roof of the car and the bike carried on into the car, so was nothing i could do and nothing my dad could do so was just one of those things, the police just asked who was at fault and we sead no one and because we are family and we agreed that no one was to blame thats it as far as the police were concerned .

Moderator Airhead Posted May 17, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 17, 2010 Did it not occur to you on that narrow Devon lane that something might actually come the other way? If you continue to think it was not your fault, then every time you go down a lane like that you will no doubt crash into the back of someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barwell1992 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 i deed i did but lane was not even narrow until this one point where there was a concreat block on one side and a house and curb on the other my dad even though that he could get through until he got very close so did the camper driver, and we were going less than the speed limit by about 10mph, and i was within safe distance but my delayed reaction because the brake were already on because he was already braking made matters worce im not making excuses, but thats what we can peace to geather from what happend, i blacked out and dont remeber going over the bars just falling down the side of the car but it was obvious that i went over the bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 after having read through your posts that is the third low speed off you have had on your bikes and non of them your fault?i think i have to agree with oldgit its about time you stopped making excuses and took some of the blame,perhaps you need to take some more training just because you have passed your test does not mean you are a competent rider. you list an immpresive list of mods you have done to your bike but no mention of a restrictor kit,as your on a restricted licence at your age have you had one fitted on this bike or did you just not bother the same as with your other bike or maybe you feel you just dont need to as your such a good rider.
