Beat me to it

This is a lovely bike up close

hmm i have found a good idea of how to jack the back up without upseting the handling, make spacers for the rear sub fram where it joins the frame by the rear brake rez might have a look in to it

P.S. Google is your friend - just put in SV Streetfighter & see what appears !!

BTW - welcome to the madhouse

Have to admit, I'm not too keen on streetrfighters but that is awesome . Does anyone know where I can find anymore info on that? I would love to get a broken curvy and have a go at something like that....probably a little above my level of mechanical experience though!

good idea but wouldnt that just upset the seat and fairing at the join to the tank/frame?

You can just mod the subframe, not all that difficult. I remember seeing someones on CF that did look a bit half done and unsafe, but, done properly, it could look good...

Bike looks like this

yup thats the bike aparently the seat and stuf was not upset at all as its only 1inch difforent at the seat but 5inch higer at the back(would solve my poorly visible indicators) i would use a thick bit of stainles steel and make sure its braced properly

The SV can handle a lot more ride height at the back, the steering is very lazy as standard.
