But you could put a wider rim in there and use a 180 tyre. Would almost be rude not to.

Won't do anything for the dynamics but would fill out the back end better.

To be honest it's all here on the site. Just takes some looking for. Nothing worth doing is never easy.

No.

The curvy SV is a lovely bike, its got fantastic looks. I mean the frame is a work of art. But the swing arm is not. It looks as if they got down to the arm and the designer just failed to turn up to work that day, so they left it to the work experience kid who found some box section; and the rest they say is history.

While the JMC and Metmachex arms are an improvement and I even considered DD's arm sometime ago its still not the look I would want. The RGV and VFR arms are possibilities I still haven't seen the exact one that I'm looking for. Might just have to make my own*...



*Or pay someone to make one for me.
