what's the point in having a nice engine and frame when the rest of the bike cant keep up EG the forks and rear shock, im 18 and im not a riding god, but even i could overwhelm the suspension on the sv ok im 16+ stone so on the heavy side.

but to me the forks and shock were dangerous, i could bottom the forks out going the mile up the road to the shop never mind on a fast A road.

Hence why i have upgrade both front and rear (front was a must after i crashed and buggered the stock forks up)
