What would you like to see made for the SV?

maybe if you do the adjusters at the back have them so the bolts are thumb twister type things so you can adjust them by hand

Thought you didn't want the adjuster plates

Thats rubbish anyway, if you bend them against the frame, they're just gna bend out and swing round again.

mine work fine they just look naff

Mine dont work and look naff

lol mine are bent in and up so push hard on the swing arm (not enough to damage it) and then it dosn't spin round when undoing the bolt, but as i sead after 7 years they look naff

Chris pointed me at some less expensive ones from the US, but they won't fit the pointy without making a suitable spacer.

Funny, I thought the existing cartridge emulators from RT to be reasonably priced, but I get where you are coming from.

My only real complaint with the SV was the suspension and after putting 1/4 of the new value of the bike into fixing it believe that what is needed is a quality turn key solution that is not going to break the bank.

Reasonably priced full cartridges might be the go and they don't need all the knobs... but there is a fair bit in knowledge, setup and R&D costs.

I agree Matt.
Racetech Emulators come with set up info and its partly that info that adds value. Someone has spent time researching what else to do on fitting the Emulators and this is included in the price.

Making the actual Emulators cheaper and taking away the research on that to do with them during installation and set up is a nonsense.

Just around the corner is a turn key option with full cartridges.

YC is just working out the costs now.

Racetech ones come with arguably flawed setup instructions which were allegedly written before the SV came out.

My opinion is that the racetech ones haven't had half the R+D done on them that would justify the price increase over what they can actually be made and sold for.

A quick search of "Billet Clutch Cover" on the forum shows just how many people have a leaking clutch cover and it's definately an ongoing issue for Sv owners.

And I'd rather buy from you Matt, that some unknown company.

Cheers,

No its not, its the owners inability to put the cover on correctly after removing it. Doris has coverd over 67000 miles and had the clutch cover off several times and never leaked once and its still got the original oring as well.

However a billet clutch cover will be well bling
