If you're not worried about altering the geometry of the bike, shorter dog-bones for the rear shock, or a custom made taller shock will raise the back end up

from memory the rear subframe is bolted on - how about making some steel plates to extend the lower mounting point, that wuld raise raise the **** end.

is there no way to lift the tail a bit by regulating the origanal yellow rear suspension?, because i dont want to change anything about the look, shape of my bike, i just want to lift that tail a little bit so the undertail is more visible

@jambo shorter the bones that sounds like a serious work and changing shape/panels
if i should do that i wouldnt prob. be able to use the black little grill anymore (in the middle of the bike)
@john maybe....

There must be some people here who already bought a new undertail and lifted the ass of the bike so they can show it of more? (without shapechanging)

no idea mate, nice looking bike though

Thx, but i tought that it wouldnt be that "difficult" to lift a tail of an sv

my first idea was to put the rear suspension harder or put a little steel plate under it so it would rise a little or is that a bad idea?

This is the best way. If you look at your shock linkage from under the bike you'll see a short piece of metal either side of the shock mount shaped like a bone. If you get some shorter ones of these it will raise the rear end of the bike up which should then have the effect you are after.

Alternatively dropping the yokes through the front forks a few mm, will also do the same.

Get that old SV suspension out and get a GSX-r SRAD Suspension fittet...should bring yer **** up around 3cm

. You should find no trouble finding them for little money on ebay etc. See instructions on www.svrider.com under tips for instance.
