Right you techno-types, what is the best replacement for the rear shock on an 2000 model sv-s?
I have progressive fork springs up front with slightly heaver oil and JHS dog bones at the rear. Oh yes, and i weigh 12 stone if that's any use? ![]() Also i have just bought motrax LED indicators and the relay to go with, but i cant get the bloody things to work!! I have a full wiring diagram but no instructions of how to do it. Do i bypass the original relay or use them both together? PLEASE HELP! ![]() |

If you only weigh 12 stone... then the best thing is probably a stock SV shock.
You don't say how many miles yours has done... if it's high, it's probably knackered.

There is best and there is cheapest. Really depends on how much you want to spend

I'm in the process of fitting a K4 GSXR1000 shock to mine and it's going well so far but not sure what the final result will be yet. |
