How much lean?
Can an SV be leaned off its tyres? I know gsxr's have something like 55 degrees of lean but they have a taller front and wider rear tyre. I' m fitting rearsets and system with an oval can so these shouldn't get in the way.

Hmm well I am not in the habit of carrying a protractor around with my when out on the bike mate I am afraid.
 Excuse me sounding anal but what the hell does all that mean in reality on the roads?I would have though the exact lean angle on paper has little relevance to what one can achieve in real life. But then again what do I know?

Even with rearsets and an oval can, bits of you and the bike will touch down before you go onto the sidewall. Not by much, though.

I knew the racers would be getting some big lean but are they on 120/70 section front tyres?
