I have Maxton cartridge fork conversion on front and Maxton rear shock too on my 2001 SV650S. The front was a real transformation for me as I weigh nearly 13st. The rear is good too but it is the front I like best. They are really nice people to deal with and do a lot of work for racing, especially road racing, where track biased suspension is to harsh. It's not cheap though and you need to consider how long you intend to keep your bike to make it worth the cost - I had my forks done about 9 years (and about 35k miles) ago and have had the rear shock for about eight years, so I guess I have had reasonable value for money.
