if you want to run a 180 or 190, do the GSXR swap. Talk to Arrah Arrah, I know he did it to his SV.

shes got a 170 on there, but she was getting a sweet deal on some pp take offs. doin the swap is probably a bit much just to get a deal on a set of tires lol

right, but 180s are more common, so swapping it out may be more benificial in the long run

seems like just 180 take offs are more common

the swap does look cooler tho, but a waste imo if you arent maxxin out the stock sv susp to begin with

I agree (but after getting on a better suspended bike... it's not hard to do)

they suck that bad, or just lack of adjustability?

Both.

Too soft, and lack of adjustablity makes it worse.

Personally, the rear is usable, but the forks need work/replacement for serious riding.

I still have a gix shock that I was going to put on my bike. But a couple of friends told me that with my weight, the stock shock was good enough so I haven't done it.

Are 180's truly more common of a tire? If so, it may eventually make a rim swap worth it in the long run if the rim isn't much.

What about the swingarms? How would a wider rear rim/tire effect them?
