edanger, does the 'e' stand for 'extreme'?

Sorry, thats not too helpful is it.

Surely brakes and suspension come first on the mods list?

Depends what you're doing with it really

I'd consider it brave, with the SV's bottom end and the K3's rods, but it might work brilliantly. Never heard of anyone doing it with a decent boost though. There used to be a guy on SV Rider who had a trickle system running, but that's a lot of infrastructure and hassle for the advantage- he could've got better results by different means I reckon, for less.

Like trading in the SV for a 1000cc or a TL?

Sorry, don't see the point in nitrous on an SV

Think he wanted an SV with more power, not a TL or an SV thou... Also, he probably liked modding bikes, and the idea of an SV with nitrous. But by and large I agree...

The K3's rods are apprently fragile, but id go with what Nortwind said.

So just what is the furthest someone has taken a 650 engine?

There's race bikes out there making over 100bhp... And probably not weighing very much either. But you're talking serious money and serious maintenance, to get something that's still slower than a well race-prepped R6, and o longer much like an SV. But racing has different rules from teh real world of course

The magic number that always rattles around for building on a stock bottom end is 85bhp... Though that's made up
