Question used svraceshop?

Hi guys

just been looking at exhaust cans and systems on svraceshop and they seemed really cheap given the strength of the pound.

I wondered if any one had used them and with what results?

cheers

you are beautiful people!

I #think# dizzyblonde used them to get some motosliders, no complaints anyway.

Edit: Please see post 11, was thinking of someone else.

Joe, keep our hands off my mods, a lot of hours searching eBay has gone into most of those mods.

What can I say, I'm a cheapskate!

Just stick to the can as you don't need a full system on he SV unless it's for cosmetic reasons.

Of course there's a very important reason for a full system. It's colloquially known as "$hits and giggles"

SVRS are legendary fraudsters- I think YC is thinking of SV Racing Parts, which is a different company entirely. SVRS were very badly caught out selling modified GSXR shocks which were at best rubbish (poor workmanship, work not done properly, totally awful results) and at worst dangerous (clevis bolts unscrewed to lengthen the shock, which weakens the whole shock). An SV Rider search on the subject will make interesting reading

But I suppose though they're dishonest and incompetent, as long as you're buying something off the shelf they won't have the opporunity to **** it up before they send it to you.

Still, I'd rather eat my own head than give them money.
