Congrats on getting back on the front seat again!! Beautiful bike!

can't see the pics (blocked) but I'll say congrats anyhow

Congrats! I like the headlight!

I like the old SV style better myself.
Congrats on getting back in your own saddle again!!

Now I can see the pics - looks great!

Sexy bike...i love the lines on those, everything except the massive rear fender, i wish the designer would do something about those.

Way to go! :rockwoot:

:x: is all I see :(

That is a sharp looking bike.

Nice!!!

Grats on your new wheels! :dthumb:

Yeah I plan on either a, slip on (m4} or fenderectomy as the next mod

I'd go with the fenderectomy, that exhaust is :drool: I really like those stock.

Yeah plus it's $140vs $300 lol

Sv forum peeps say a rear shock from an 06/07 gsxr600/750 will fit w/o any major probs. So $30, that's the next mod

I have one if you want it.

Congrats Z!!

06/07 gsxr600/750?

1000's shocks won't work

Pm me a price, ebay $30 delivered

600/750

let me find out the shipping costs and tack on a 5 spot or something and its yours. Just want it out of the garage since my 750 is rockin the ohlins.

Cool

77407 zip

let me check the ups store and the post office. I hopefully can get there tomorrow, if not def on friday

I think it looks cool. I actually like the exhaust, which is rare on a stocker.

thanks tommy, looks like my long easter weekend project, ok 1 hrs worth

No worries, removing it and swapping the ohlins didnt take too long for me but I did have most of the bike taken apart already, tank had to come off to properly do the job, but the tank I had was trashed anyway.

Make sure to upgrade the fork springs/oil at the same time, riding it with a quality rear shock and shitty front suspension is not a fun time.

Just make sure that the difference in length doesn't make a significant difference in the handling. You probably won't notice it on the street but it will probably be very different at the track.

I did a similar shock swap on the SV using the rear shock from a XZ14R

What he said. I thought "how bad could it possibly be" when I did the rear but was waiting on the parts for the front.

Think pogo stick bolted to a rock.
