Suspension/Tyre Upgrade
Hi all,
Just thought I would point out that my SV was in Saltire Suzuki in Edinburgh today and had them fit 2 new Pilot road 2's and upgrade the fork internals to K-tech Springs and 15w oil. Initial impressions are that the front end is totally transformed and although early days I feel the grip from tyres is much improved. A highly recommended upgrade!!! Ian |

Re: Suspension/Tyre Upgrade
Good isn't it
 it's not as much an upgrade as a correction, just making the SV parts work as well as they can. Highly recommended...

Re: Suspension/Tyre Upgrade
They charged 2.75 hours labour for forks which worked out at £110 plus vat. Would have done it myself but not too sure that I wouldn't have made a mess of it.

Re: Suspension/Tyre Upgrade
Not too unreasonable. For future reference for anyone else considering this, I'll do it for a bottle of jack daniels

 Also, does it have to be a full bottle? Since you didn't specify I would make assumptions not

Re: Suspension/Tyre Upgrade
Edinburgh, so not too handy for you
To clarify- full unopened bottle, 700ml or larger!

Re: Suspension/Tyre Upgrade
