regarding front suspension, changing the fork oil to thicker one makes a huge difference, almost makes the suspension acceptable (depending on your weight i guess...)
on my wife's SV (she's only 100lb) front end would botom out on almost every bump... i changed the fork oil, i think original "oil" weight was something like 5, and i put in 20. 450ml in each leg - cheep solution that works well - it's no gsxr front end, but it feels a lot better, really, A LOT BETTER... and even under my 200lb it does not bottom out now.
cheers!
