I've no doubts, these would make a significant differance.

However you have to look at what your fitting them to?

Lets face it the SV is a budget bike and was ment to be so.
If you're going to go spending vast sums of money on it, you'd be much better of getting something with better technology built into the front as standard.

the spring/oil/ air gap mod is cheap, does a good job over standard, and makes the bike handle well enough.

Although I've done lots of mods to the SV all have been done with this in mind.

Unless you've got racing in mind, I'd say save your money for petrol and tyres.

Cheers Mark.
