My curvy - SV650.org

Here is my bike, I'm looking at sorting my suspension next and possibly going back to a single can for the SS shock upgrade.

Any comments or suggestions welcome!

Those cans look schweet, I personally wouldnt change them, as they are something a little different, but that is just me

I do like them it's just the fact that from what I've read on here I'm not going to be able to upgrade the rear shock due to the fact the chain would foul on the pipes

MMMmmm twin Renegade pipes, great sound

I upgraded my shock to a ZX-10R item on my curvy with the same set up, no problems with the chain fouling. Made the handling loads better though, hello damping!

Got to say, that's a good looking curvy, ( should of got a faster pointy though)

Luckypants - which year zx10 shock did you use I've looked and there are different lengths for each year!

Joshwalker094 - thanks very much, admitedly I do like the lines of the pointy, and I initially bought this as a stop gap after the insurance wrote off my cbr600f, however that was last year and I'm glad to say I've fell in love with the curvy! Even if I did buy a pointy I'd have to keep the curvy as my guilty pleasure!

I used an 06 IIRC.

dear god, get rid of the rim tape...

and the yellow bar end...

Other than that - great looking bike!

I'm going to! Shortly followed by changing the yellow braided lines for blue or silver!

No! Keep the rim tapes it looks good. Bar ends maybe get rid of though
