60 quid?! Feck that!
If it's the FI international restriction on the curvy it'll simply be two washers sitting under the carbs. What does it say on the restriction certificate? If it is FI int. then just do it yourself..
1) Lift and prop up tank
2) Remove the airbox from the carbs (just give it a tug) Shouldn't need to remove all the hoses attached to the airbox, but if you do, make sure you note which ones go where.
3) Undo the jubilee clips holding the carbs onto the inlet (screw pictured below)
4) Lift up carbs and look if there are washers fitted (pic below). If they're in there just take 'em out and job's a goodun.
Put everything back as it was, making sure the carbs are properly sitting, jubilee clips done up tight and seal between airbox and carbs is tight (I find removing the air filter (four screws on top) helps with this as you can see the top of the seal)
Then pop a post up on here in case anyone's looking for some for their bike.
I assume you're not supposed to be restricted, as obviously removing them when you shouldn't will land you in a big pile of the proverbial
If you are on a restricted license then it's your call.
However if the restriction is the Suzuki one it'll be carb sliders. I don't have experience with this type so I'll let someone else talk you through that. PM Yorkie_Chris if you want help with that.
Yes taking the restrictors out will make a massive difference. Have a look for Wideboy's thread about his "new bike", which in fact is just his SV now he's de-restricted it.
Hope that helps.
