I would hope so, but I'd ask when ordering. Be careful as although SV's use Nissin M/C, the threads inside the M/C can differ.

If the banjo bolt doesn't screw in with your fingers, or only just goes in a couple of turns, then its the wrong one for that M/C. Even if the M/C looks identical, they can be different

Well a mate at work is buying one of my local bike garages in a few weeks so i've just spoke to him about getting the valves shimmed, he said he'd do it for £150 which includes collecting and dropping off the bike and fitting a new C&S just need to get a C&S set ordered now and then i'll book it in for when i'm back from my course. Anyone got any recommendations for chain and sprockets?

My poor bike is in a sorry state. I looked in the freezing cold garage on saturday at it.
It's filthy where I used it in the wet and haven't cleaned it for a loooooong time, and I'm slightly ashamed to admit that the chain is starting to get rusty where I haven't lubed it enough.
I'm going to have to stick some big eblow grease into it this weekend and get it cleaned and the chain back to its former glorly. Also couldn't get the front brake pads out ages ago when I tried as the pin was seized in, so I'm gonna stick some penetrating fluid on that to try and sort it out and give it a good scrub.

I feel bad for letting it get to this stage now

Hey Reeder,

Busted my ass Sunday making the bike look like new (well clean anyway).
Dropped the oil this morning because the oil fill window was milky (about 600 miles off a service or i would have waited).
Been out for a spin and the bike looks worse than it did Saturday!

I got the double banjo bolt with my Goodridge setup - so hopefully HEL would be as accomodating

Having no bike sucks. Its killing me now not being able to ride, whats it gonna be like when you lot start meeting up without me ? It hurts

Reeder - clean your bike or im gonna come and steal it and clean it for you
