Question about an SV - SV talk seems appropriate.

I have a K6 SV650sport, and it has been fitted with different dog bones and a lower seat to make it much lower...however is this going to affect the headlight aim?

Yes. The adjusters will need a twiddle.

I dont want to drop the forks through the yolk to keep the bike level as i did this on a previous bike and had to put it back upas it was horrible!!

That bit about number plate touching wheel usually means some spastic has improperly fitted a tail tidy.
Suspension needs to work freely without interference over it's full travel regardless.

Try drop forks a bit, you might like it better. Lowered bikes handle horribly.

Re: Lowered SV & Headlight aim

Well either further back or at a different angle so the plate isn't pointing at the tyre.

Personally the thought of my tyre getting chomped when landing off a crest or something at a hundred and daft miles an hour scares me. The thought of buying a new plate every time you jump it over a speed bump even more so!!

Ok well don't say I didn't warn you. It isn't correct and isn't safe IMO.
