ok thanks for the advice. I'll do some reading up on all of this. Im based in Nottingham UK

There's nothing particularly difficult, get some 2nd hand, low mileage naked clocks and a universal headlight and spend the rest on suspension IMO

yeah that sounds cool. as I've said, I've got my eyes on some clocks and headlights are easy to come by. I dont mind a bit of a challenge too. I would like to put some upside down forks on it at some point.but thats another upgrade for another time.It's just the room for my legs that I need to think about

Now you're talking proper mods

Also witht your aftermarket clocks the speedo will be really easy to do, as you won't have to do owt with the SV pickup.

dammit dont do this to me lol.the gsxr gold upside down forks look amazing on the SV. I will do it one day.are the gsxr ones the most suitable for fitting to an sv? or are there other options?

thanks

They're the one that all the compatibility is most known.

See here http://gregmli.blogspot.com/search/label/DIY thats useful... but for curvy you'll be using SRAD 750 yokes for USDies or 600 for RWU forks. that lets you keep the steering lock.

Why not do this all at once? Much easier that way, you only have to buy one set of headlamp brackets

thanks

if I take the sv clocks off, can I still keep the ignition without disturbing it?

thanks

yorkie_chris · 13-01-08, 07:05 PM

Yes lock is attatched to the yoke not to the clocks.
