Height issues with an SV - Page 2 - SV650.org

I put some spacers at the fornt of the tank to lift it a little higher - the extra bit allowed me to get get my legs under the tank - was cheap for 2 long bolts and some big spacers (i bodged them from the plumbing shop). You are a couple inches taller than me but it may give a little extra room and for me made it more comfortable.

SV nekkid peg carriers are lower, right one from the same year should bolt on, left one will need the relevant gear shift rod I'd imagine.

buy a K3.....i believe their rear subframe is slighlty higher than later pointies.
someone who knows more than me will no doubt confirm/shoot this down in a bit

True, but the seat is different and thinner*, so the height is barely different.

*And they won't swap over.
