i have been playing with some parts for my sv.
i have tried a few swingarms up to my frame and found some nice results. gsxr 600 k1, does fit into the frame but the shock is offset so the dogbones do not line up with the linkage, this could be machined to fit but the weight difference is only half a kilo with linkages etc. the gsxr 600 k1 rear shock fits all std sv linkages but fouls the battery. old showa gsxr750 rear shock fits but lowers the ride height by 66mm with std dogbones. to keep std ride height dogbones need to be 75mm but ride is far too hard with these. only way to use this shock is to extend the shock mount itself allowing the use of std dogbones. as for forks the gsxr750 showa units non usd fit the sv yolks without mods but front wheel, spindle etc is needed. gsxr 600 rear subframe fits with minor mods requiring rewelding of the mounts. i'll keep tinkering with my spare time and post up any new news. |
