I'll 2nd that one. I got a Leo Vince carbon oval on the SV and it was starting to go just before I got the gixer. They're cans are good but I wish I hadn't gone for carbon to match the black curvy I had.

talking end cans I've still got the Yoshi titanium can from the gixer sitting in the garage but it won't fit an SV without some kind of bodging.

As for mods, I still think the best thing you can do to the SV is change the gearing so its got a bit more push coming out of the corners, that and suspension (when you've got the time on the bike and a bit of cash)
