Upgraded the brakes on the SV650

[derf]

Why did I think it was more common for folks to swap out the whole front end for GSXR fork and have better suspension and brakes?

I know this is more common on the 1st gen SVs.. I haven't kept up with the more recent models.

No, its very common on ALL SV's. especially for track riders. the USD GSXR forks offer a lot of improvements over the softly sprung flexi flyer stock forks.


particularly they flex less, have better springs and more widely adjustable setups, and stock are set up with great brakes. nevermind the fact that USD forks just look kickass.

all of the above are generally issues on SV forks as I understand it, so people upgrade.
