Default just a couple of questions!.......

well firstly i have jus purchased and fitted chrome twin headlights on my naked sv650 k2 in place of the round headlight.. i removed the old 1 and have jus taped up the wiring loom connectors and wiring that were contained in the old headlight as neatly as i can behind the new twin headlight as there is no room 4 them inside the light itself.. has any1 else fitted these hedlights and have they done the same as me.. or have they came up with a better idea?

And for my second question.. is it possible to jack up up the rear end as to alter the height of the rear subframe to give it a more of a street fighter look..as i know you can lower it by changing the the link on the suspension, i was wondering if theres a way to higher it

thanx

matt

this will drasticly alter the suspension geometry and raise seat height, to just jack up the tail all you need is extenders for the bottom subframe mounts

not sure if bandit mania sells anything to cover the wiring

nothing untoward with fitting a pair of 100mm hole center dog bones which will give an extra inch 95 will make 2" but your chain tension will need a closer look at how loose you need it to be so it isnt tight on full damper compression

only reason i said do the subframe mounts is because the k2 nakeds are known for their tank slapper actions(wheres jonboy? ) and changing to a 2 inch raise would be excessive and could cause more problems

brackets like this

Only problem you will have is your can hangers will be out of line unless you have the aftemarket ones with the strap type hangers.

this is true, but the first mod sv owners usually do is buy a race can, if you havent then you will need to make an extra bracket from the footpeg hanger to the can
