Pointy suspension & brake upgrades?
Ok so I posted a little while back about my rear suspension needing replacing, I have to pm someone about a stock shock to ride me over, but thanks to being too keen with the right wrist I am staring down the barrel of some intense insurance hikes, which means I doubt I can get a new bike for a while. So, basically I want to make the sv better and mine again (basically standard) so it isn't so horrible a wait.
I appreciate that these questions have been asked before but to save me searching lots of different threads I thought I would see if I can get what I want in one place!
Things I want to change in time are:
Front end.
It's a 2010 L0, I have seen various posts about gsxr front ends and wondered what model/year I need to look out for and what extra things I need to be wary of, such as bits that need re-routing etc.
My understanding is that it's the forks, wheel and brakes?
Back end,
Shock, lots of people kindly suggested a zx10r shock for the rear, 04-06?? Any other suggestions and year ranges? I don't want to cut or modify anything so the best option that allows me to leave it as standard is what in after. My local dealer said they can get a hagon (?) one for £265ish but never heard of them and that is a bit steep but as a fall back option it's a known variable.
Brake, I know nobody ever uses it but I do, a lot, mainly in slow traffic to/from work. Any ideas what kind of upgrade I can do here?
Middle,
After a decent horn, so far the heat hasn't caused it to stop working like it did on my k9, but just in case it's something I have been meaning to sort. Any suggestions on a good one that is easy to swap?
Think that is about it. It will be a long process but I hope to get a list of items and work out costs then beg borrow and steal the funds for them!
Thanks in advance peeps!
