It's pretty straightforward... It's been covered before, but basically you need a pair of K3 intake cams (I'm sure K4 and K5 is the same) and a pair of cam chain tensioner gaskets. Some would replace the cam followers (is that the right word? The thing that the cam actuates against to move hte valve) but I didn't. (the reasoning for this is that like chain and sprockets, you get matched wear on the cam and the, er, things. But it would add a lot to the cost to do this, and tbh I don't consider accelerated wear on the cam to be a concern in an SV engine, since they're good for 100K+ miles no problem.
There's a lot of good writeups out there, and on SV Rider- probably best to go straight to the source rather than get my 3rd-hand chinese whispers version. But £130, one evening in the garage, doesn't get better than that as far as power mods on an SV.
