You never said what you're gonna do with the front. New springs, emulators?

Sonic Springs and some heavier oil. I'll probably do emulators over the winter.

25,000 on her now and the original SV stuff is starting to wear out anyhow.

You will love them. Yesterday was the first day I got to really ride mine since the new suspension (to me). It was great. All kind of confidence in the curves. It still needs some fine tuning, but it is a major difference over stock. One thing I have to get used to is the engine braking on the SV :lol:

I have to get used to NOT having as much (just did the TPS mod and installed a aTRE and it made a world of difference).

Also did this today:

Oh well. Snagged one off eBay for 150. More than I wanted to spend but it should be worth it.

don't congratulate me until I've shoehorned that sucker into the SV :lol:

For what it's worth, I now have a brand new shock from a GSXR1000 that I'll toss in there quick to see if it's too short like I think and if it is I'll end up selling it since it's about 10mm shorter than the stock SV shock.

I would skip the gix shock. Just put the 14 in there and be done with it. Does the 14 have the 90 deg or 45 deg resevoir?

Took about 20 minutes to install. Damn what a difference!
