Swaped oem shock for GSXR one http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=178664. It took me god few hours as i'm not very expirienced with spaners and the result is disapointing cos back end droped a fair bit and dosen't even look right. Gave it a try and it doesn't feel to bad, only a little slower at turning. So can I use different dog bones (shorter I think) to jack it back up? Or is there other way to do it? Difference is now I can put my both feet flat on the ground, before I could only just touch the ground both feet.

Drop top yoke down the forks a bit (10mm or so) so more of fork shows above the tope yoke.

they are 15mm sorter than standard which equates to 30mm at the back. i think the lowest you can go on the front is 15mm so your still 15mm out.
if i were you i would get links that raise you 20mm (shorter by 10mm) and drop the front 10mm as you say you fit better with it lower. |

shorter suspension links (dog bones) will lift the rear of the bike...if you look on e-bay for sv650 jack up kit there is some on there for 16.99 + 2.00 p+p....if you can work out how much height you`ve lost as there`s 25mm, 30mm and 40mm kits.

I'm not sure If the pointy dog bones are the same as ones for curvy. If they are then I'll have them. Can someone confirm?

Didn't realise you were fitting this to a curvy. That means you're actually *edit* 17mm shorter than stock, so more like *edit* 34mm at the rear. It's 10mm shorter than a stock pointy shock.
