:lol: Technically, I made hr haul her shit out to NC.
I can't help with the shock, but simply swapping it to a ZX-10 shock (as pointed out, better than the GSXR swap I'd heard of) off ebay is your most cost-effective route with that. Might be to stiff for your weight though & need the spring swapped. You could find the info on SV forums, no doubt.
As for the forks - dropping in springs & changing fluid is easy, and can be done without taking even them off the bike. If you decide to do the cartridge emulators, I'd be happy to install them for you if you shipped them. Probably wouldn't be as cost-effective as simply finding a decent local bike mechanic that does work 'on the side' - but the offer stands.
Trip's right about it not being a 'necessity', especially if you're not pushing the bike hard through curves. But as far as 'modding' goes, it's about the best thing you can do to improve the feel & handling of the bike. Way more important than cosmetic stuff or a louder pipe. Oh - if it hasn't been mentioned before though - another fairly inexpensive & easy mod is aftermarket front brake lines (and better pads, depending on how much the OE ones are lacking). Improves the 'feel' and modulation greatly.
