JHS Racing do a raising kit too... So do Maxton though it's more expensive.

Stock center to center distance on the doggies is 95mm. Every 1/4" shorter in distance = roughly 3/4" lift. (it's a vague science) I am currently up 1.5" and loving it!!! dropped (or lifted, depending on how ya look at it) the shocks in the triples to 13mm from top of yoke to top of fork (not top of preload cap though) Next on my list is a damper, as the front gets nervous on hard acceleration. I am sure any capable machinist can make some in 20 minutes. (s'ow long it took me, and I suck!!)

You need to raise the whole rear to change dogbones- normal stands won't do it since you're removing part of the suspension. But other than that, and some potentially bad tempered bolts, it's dead straightforward. Excellent mod for the SV, bit more up at the back and down at the front really improves the turn-in speed.

Nothing to do with my off. As stated the diesel spilt on the roundabout had though.

Not to bad to fit. Once the bike is supported properly and cant compress.

i forgot i made this post

£20? wow if it makes the bike look the daddy's then I'm rather tempted

apart from the fact I'd have no idea how to fit it!

With the tail up in the air can you still have a pillion or does it become unstable?
