could do with a grab rail infill bracket

Race Subframes?

That's easy, make your own, goodridge do build-a-line kits to pretty much any length. You buy the banjo's with the correct angle and then buy a seperate line to the length you need, bolt the whole thing together and your sorted. My sv has a goodridge line on the rear, a result of the rear torque arm buggering off and snapping the rear caliper mount Went into the local hydraulics place and walked out with a new line and the correct banjo fittings for around £40, all stainless steel and a lifetime guarantee on em too.

Another company who do the same thing are venhill.

Had to use a venhill kit when swapping front ends on my dakar to a yz setup, very easy to put together as you can get the banjos fitted and tightened up before you even fit the line. Good stuff

If you have any trouble sourcing them over in canada i could buy them in the uk and send them over to you.

Also another one for the footpeg lowering kits and a set of crash bungs

Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea what size/type of fitting attaches the lines to and from the ABS pipes?

not familiar with the abs on the sv's mines a curvy

My bmw dakar has abs and it uses brake lines with standard banjo fittings to connect into the abs system. The line from the lever and from the caliper both go to the same block (different points) and then the line from the abs unit is fastened into the back of that block, how is it done on the sv then?

Just had a look over on the us site, specifically this post, that connection looks different but i'm willing to bet its the same thread pitch as the ones used in the build a line kit, but without a bike to test that theory on it's not a 100% accurate guess. But seeing as it's basically a hydraulic system you'd think there would be a standard thread pitch being used, hopefully on a bike like an sv they would not go to the trouble of using a non standard thread pitch in a abs system

If i were you i'd buy what i needed and try it. But that's just me

It's a female threaded connector. When the winter arrives here (about a month from now!) I am going to strip the lines out to find out the thread size - either 1.0mm or 1.25mm and then order the parts from Venhill (thanks for the contact)

Not a full gear indicator but a simple light or symbol on the dash to let you know you're in top gear. Saves you keep going for that extra gear
