Re: Fork value
Don't worry there, I will be back with questions if I think I can justify the cost whatever that may be.

Re: Fork value
Looking at the prices of front ends I could practically buy a gixxer!

Re: Fork value
That's how I ended up with a Daytona!
The cost of sourcing a new front end and getting it all sorted v trading in the sv and buying a new bike Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Re: Fork value
I do love the sound of a v twin, I am tempted by a screaming IL4 though.
Insurance is a consideration too as the mod must hike up the premium somewhat, whether it's comparable to moving to a sports bike or not given the standard sv's low premium Sent from my SM-G903F using Tapatalk

Re: Fork value
I've never been fortunate enough to have low premiums so it wasn't much of a factor for me

Re: Fork value
Ahhh hahahahaha I found it the perfect step up, still torquey live the twin but more top end like a 4. Not as all out fast as a 4 mind but the sound, oh the sound

Re: Fork value
Pretty normal up till about 6 6 and half then the exhaust opens up and it's a sweet whistley note
And when you chuck a quick shifter on, the fun is almost too much Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Re: Fork value
If you are looking, I think it's the 2009 plus that are plug and play with quick shifters
