Rear Shock upgrade - SV650.org

30-07-07, 10:01 PM

I've recently acquired a pointy sv which I'm in the process of modifying and turning into a pure track bike.
I'm looking to change the shock but don't want to break the bank by fitting a Ohlins unit. The original has done a lot of miles. Does anyone know of a less painful alternative that would be as good or nearly so ? Would it be worth having the original unit re-built ?
