I’ve never given motards a second look until this one. Sick bike. Don’t know what it is about it but I like it.

One thing I love about motorcycles: we can do whatever we please, regardless of function or form. This bike’s a beautiful rideable sculpture, not my kind of bike but definately the owner’s dream, and that’s what truly counts in a custom. I own an SV650N full stock and love it that way, so to each his own. Congrats!!

At last, a tank that really matches the edgy style of the rest of the core bike!. Like the other mods as well. Mismatched tires is quirky, I get it. Nice!

Thanks for all the comments, it’s been a fun build! The front tyre is indeed an Avon ProXtreme rain, good eye Elven!

Brian, thanks again to you and the wife for the awesome shots!!

Looks like a SuperMoto Wet tyre, perhaps Avon ProXtreme Rain ?

My bike has mismatched tyres: a full “wet” SuperMoto on the front (just like this one) and an intermediate on the back….
It works beautifully on the tight roads where I live, endless grip at the front, even on the goat sh¡t in the bends, with the occasional shimmy from the back. Shame the front tyre only lasts 500kms.
I didn’t even consider how it might look.
