Looks like a stock Suzuki damper, it could have been fitted to TL1000/GSXR and many others but not the SV650.

Anything will work but you need the proper mounts which the SV650 does not have as stock, easier to get a proper damper.

You know, that looks a lot like the steering damper in my SV1000. Maybe it is one of those, but I am not sure. Take this statement with a pinch of salt.

There's a good reason for that.

650s don't have steering dampers as standard, 1000s do.

Yep, SRAD750 USD Yokes have a mounting point for the damper.
