Looking good.


Need to do the swingarm too though.

I think so :D
Top baffle in and a little tiny "baffle" :rolleyes: in the bottom.

Now I've sprayed it black, I wish I had the swing arm black aswell.
The next time I strip the swing arm off, I'll get it done.

Looks Nice!
How's the RSVR shock? Was it a pain to fit?

Re: DavieSV's SV, Gsxr forks, Rsvr shock, Black & Gold
 

Shock feels a great deal better than stock and when playing with the adjustments, you can really notice the difference it makes.

It wasn't a straight swap, it needed to be engineered to fit.

See here <--

But well worth it for me, as it didn't cost me anything to do :D
I like the adjustable shock length aswell. It gives me more things to mess up with the geometery of the bike rather than just raising or lowering the forks through the triple clamps.

A real improvement and the bracing of the swing arm takes the flex out of the swing arm, making the shock do more of the work.

:-D

Awesome work. Don't think it's something I could ever manage!!

Looking good davie.

Strange half faired lovers! ;)

It was one of the attactions of the SV when I first saw it.
It reminded me a bit of the bikes I had or wanted when I was younger.
