1. shock, stock is useless. depending on how much you weigh a 750SRAd one can work well. The ohlins for the SV has some issues. I'd go penske.
2. Best bet is to sell the stock door closers and buy a GSXR front end. Preferably the showas from 600/750. That way you can easily revalve. You also get far better brakes thrown into the bargain. K4/K5 is what I'd be looking at.
3. Bodywork? Pah.
4. race takeoffs wherever you can find them
5. yes you can get hold of them easily enough. B and C express should be able to sort you out all the parts you need.
6. I'd go for some GBmotos or something like that, for the price they're spot on and the come with roller bearings in the levers rather than bushings.
7. Bore out throttle bodies, full system, velocity stacks, porting, valve job, busa pistons, deck heads. This sounding expensive yet?
