Hmm, not sure, mine is in limbo til I can take it to bits properly in september, so most of the big jobs don't apply.

I suppose if I had to spend it today I'd throw lots of it at rebuilding the front forks and getting the caliper hanger on the left machined off. And some would pay for my Ohlins shock rebuild, which I have to pay for on monday

I'd quite like to replace my Dymags with 5-spokes instead of the 3s, too. And finally get the rear caliper hanger machined so I can fit the rear one.

I get ya point, but I would rather tart up my SV....i wouldnt get alot of money back for it, so I might aswell make it a bike I can live with for a long long long time. I figure turning it into a half-decent handling Budget-Tourer / uber-commuter type of bike would be great
