How the hell is that road legal! Its almost as loud as the Renegade that came off it! Got a lovely little bark to it actually! I'm rather pleased with it.

The 40 mm jack up kit is just what was needed. Now when I stop and put my feet down I dont feel like I'm sitting on a chair! Bike sits much better for it now as well.

Just been out for a quick 20 minute blat. really nice ot be back on a SV. They really are a cracking bike!

Cheers Lee. It doesn't feel any diffeent on the steering that I can notice? Bike looks better for it though. I got mine from Ebay for £15.

Whoops typo! I meant 40mm of course. Altthough a foot and half jack up would be interesting! http://forums.sv650.org/images/icons/icon10.gif

They're Renegade V Stacks. I bought them with those carbs which have a dynojet kit fitted. As Renegade have sadly gone now I dont know anyone that makes them anymore? I think Factorypro are the only place doing them now but only for the F1 pointy? I dont know much about velocity stacks and couldn't find out much about them on the web either?

I'll take some pics when i do fit it. But after reading up on fitting one its not something I'm in hurry to do now! :D I'll wait until I have a full day to myself. IN fact I might take a day off to do this so the Mrs doesn't keep interruppting etc.:D
