Ah sorry the site must be down at the moment, isn't working for me either. Try again tomorrow - www.demon-tweeks.co.uk is the site, enter your bike into the drop down menu and see all that's available for it.

Demon tweeks is right load of chavtat.

Steering damper is waste of time, I have inch taller at shock, probably 4" at tail if you measure, inch shorter forks giving probably a full degree less rake. You can ride it banzai over bumpy potholed roads and it just wags it's head a bit, nowt to worry about just fun. Inherently stable bike. Lots more important things to spend your money on first.

The front wheel landing exiting bends is the only time my sv really wobbles.

Mine only wobbles on the track, or doing a u-turn very slowly

Performance first, cosmetics look after themselves.
