Reckons to be a proper cartridge I think, still going to be more expensive than going to gixxer forks

Yes it's cartridge internals with new springs and oil for €420. Always another option. Seems a simpler route to better suspension than the Gixxer mod.

Definatly; I would rather modify what I have already than to go through alot of work with swapping front ends. I like the idea of replacing my current springs with ohlins progressives

These ones look cool too

PDQ seem to be the sole UK distributor. It does say they are for the naked bike though.

It does say they're for naked bikes, but the product list contains the cbr, r1, r6, zx6 and 10, gsxr1000...

Yes, but they have a different kit designation. All the SE kits are listed next to naked bikes, but are the forks different on the naked and faired SV's?
