Ebbs,I think you should try it and see,I think that it'll be close but will work. Besides,it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to do.

yeah the more I look at it... if I flip it it may JUST clear... the tightening bolt is on that side... only concern now would be the frame...

it's on my list to do when I get home

I really think this will take 1 day AT MOST... I'll soak the chain and sprocket in Kero. first... let it soak till the last thing... cut the fairings while draining the oil...

I think I'll flush the coolant while I'm at it... I need to put a new overflow bottle on as it's required for the sliders... and I'll put some water wetter in.

and most fucking defiantly ride!

yeah, need to do a coolant flush on the SV too, and probably bleed the brakes as well...
