Heya folks! I'm new to the forum (only 3 or so posts inquiring for parts :| Bad form, I know.) I recently purchased a 2002 SV650S from a friend.
I'm 24, never ridden before so naturally I took the Motorcycle safety course and after about a month of riding I thought I was comfortable. Then I down shifted too quickly taking a right hand turn at 15 mph and the bike threw me like a bull and decided to pop a squat on my leg. I'm fine save for my pride and a scuffed knee. (Thank you Mr Riding Boots)
Getting to the point, I snagged the 1 inch curb with my brake assembly and bent the entire bit 90 degrees in the wrong direction. Of course with a month on the bike Im rippin' to get back on the road with it but I've a few problems replacing the rear set / footpeg assembly.
Are the 2003 + assemblies compatable with my 2002, carbed? (these are the only ones I can find on Ebay)
Are Gilles / aftermarket rear sets really that friggin' awesome?
Adrian (forgot his s/n) is looking into his scrapped SV for the parts I'm in need of but I wanted some more general knowledge.
Thanks in advance folks
