upgrading suspension
 

Im looking at upgrading my suspension soon as im getting a bit fed up of the current stock suspension, now the questions

front fork springs- differences between linear and progressive, which one will i need for everyday riding, occasionally a bit of thrashing, nad maybe a possible track day in the future, i normally ride on my own but do occasionly take my girl on the nack, about 30% of the time shes on the back, and also where can i get linear if there what i need, i see progressive everyehere such as jhs racing,

rear shock- im a bit thick even thoguh ive read up on them, if i have a k4 sv650s do i need a k4 gsxr shock, and does it matter waht gsxr it was for, 600.750.1000,

ive heard hyperpro are cheap selling fork springs and a rear shock for under 200 quid, would this be a good option for me as it needs no modifying,

thanks

You need a GSXR 1000 shock from a K1 GSXR 1000 onwards, makes a big diffrence and not expensive if you find a good one on Ebay.

How to fit here;

I have Hagon front progressive springs and they are top and make a big diffrence to the bike especially if you have a better shock....

I'm now going the whole hog and transplanting a GSXR front end, just waiting for the bits to arrive
:D

it needs to be a 1000 then it cant be a 750 or 600

A GSXR 1000 is best as its sprung for a simaler weight to the SV, the GSXR 600 and 750 weight less than a SV650 a GSXR 1000 weighs around the same as the SV so hence is the best choice.

not worth inveting in the hyperpro stuff then

You pays your money and takes your choice :wink:

GSXR shock worked well on my bike, and cheap to boot

what i meant is, is the hyperpro shocks good, as they are pretty cheap,
