Never heard a word of bad about the AK setup... Well, apart from the cost

Also, you're left with stock brakes of course, so you might want to look at that. Better forks do improve your braking regardless though...

for the brake, except changing the brake line for an stainless steel brake line, do you suggest to change the master cylinder, brake pad and disk?

or just the new brake line will do the job?

Brake lines make hardly any difference unless the old ones are damaged... Im not sure what works well with standard calipers really, I never spent much time on them. You can get adaptor plates to fit GSXR 4-pots to SV forks though. Then, there's nothing drastically wrong with standard calipers, I'm just trying to see it from your perspective with a budget and a willingness to make an SV that's above and beyond.

From the company that brought you this:

For UK shoppers, you can get Poly 26 stuff from Twinshack now, so you don't need to learn French any more.

reminds me of a old Norton race bike a friend had in his barn about 20 years ago. Very cool and classic looking

I love it... Someone took it further and made a minitwin racer up in the same style (with, I think, the half-faired version, though I could well be wrong) right down to having fake twin shocks. There's photoshops on the Poly26 website with wire wheels etc too.
