View Full Version : Jack Up?

I’ve seen a few SV’s (curvy) that have had their back end jacked up by modifying where the rear sub-frame bolts on to the frame. Do you know if there is a kit you can buy or if there are any specs anywhere??
Looks good and won’t alter the geometry but not sure about strength with a passenger etc and how the exhaust bracket fits.

Cheers

Nice!!

I want to keep the standard back end. I should be able to shouldn’t I??

Don’t suppose your guy would be willing to make any more?

What front fairing did you use and does it hide the meters of cable or did you chop it down? Does the fairing come with brackets or did you make them?

Soooo many questions!!

Last but not least what clocks are you using?

Cheers

The standard back end should not be a problem, although it may require some sums if your going to carry a passanger.

Sadly i cant get him to make any more, but i can/ should be able to give you enough info to get some made.

The front fairing is a powerbronze venom, and hides all the wiring, but the fitting is a bit of a bodge with my own brackets.

Clocks are standard at the mo.

Hope this helps

i done mine wid some home made ally plates to space out the bottom point of the subframe....cant remember the spec...just good a/c quality strong stuff.
as for strenght.... stoppies wid ex on the back and no problems.
doesnt affect the handdling either
