Hi all ive been told today that either a suzuki gsxr hugger or a bandit hugger would fit a sv650 is this ture .
Also forgot to say aswell is two of the lads down the pub had a big debate today saying that a ZZR 600 rear wheel would go stright on a sv650 ive not been on the bike scene that long but im sure it wont ??

well it depends on which sv you have eg k3 k8 sk1 etc and which gsxr model it is but in general no just get a sv on will save a load of hassle

yer I know the feeling about the snow, best time to take the bike to bits :-) A curvy owner as well that even better.

i dount think a gsxr one will but a bandit is possible, just get a sv specific one

and rear wheel swaps are alot more complicated that it "this will fit" there's wheel alignment,chain alignment and disk brake alignment to take in to consideration to

Out of curiosity why are you thinking of changing the wheel, the ZZR600 takes the same tyres as a curvy doesn't it 160/60 ZR17?

Its my mates talking about it because one of them has two spare wheels of a ZZR which he said i can have cos he said they will fit my sv ? so i thought i'd better come on here and ask the guys who know what they are talking about
