So the suspension idea has yet to happen. Mainly because I'm holding off until I can purchase my own welding setup so i can adapt the exhaust system to route under seat at the same time.
But in the mean time, now I've got a garage
I've been able to crack on with giving the bike a good service. New plugs, air filter, fresh oil/filter, coolant, clutch cover gasket + o-ring, carbs off and cleaned, fuel pump off and cleaned, and a couple new fuel lines too.
I also picked up a 30 quid cheap chinese special muffler from ebay (i added the akrapovic sticker... i know, but i dont care!), which i adapted to fit the sv at the location/angle i wanted. Actually really happy with it. I think it looks cool and with the baffle in its a touch quieter than my old muffler, which is what i wanted. Sounds pretty cool too.
Thanks to the new muffler combined with the long overdue service, the sv is now running sweet
