As of a couple weeks ago, I am a proud owner of a 2003 SV650S! Here are some pics I took in Golden.

Cool bike, congratulations.

Now go get the November 2010 issue of Motorcyclist Magazine, out now, and turn to page 84 and begin your plans to change everything on your new SV!

The "Streetbike Surgery" section features a 2005 SV650n and they went through and upgraded the suspension with ebay/craigslist parts to make a very potent and cool street bike. It makes me want to run out and get an SV.

They had something similar in Sport Rider a month or two ago. In the "Great Sportbikes of the Past" article they talked about the million and one alterations people did to these things, as well as SV1000's.

That's a great looking bike! Make sure you go to svrider.com and join. There's lots of good info over there to pour over.

Thanks. It already had the Tri-Oval Carbon Fiber Yoshimura Slip on, as well as frame sliders, bar ends, fender eliminator, new Michelin Pilot Power Rear. I'm taking it to TFOG on Wednesday to get a new Front to match and a new windscreen because the stock one had some white mystery stains on it...:dunno:

Congrats! Can't go wrong with a Suzuki! :) I read an article where you can swap out the forks and shock for some Gixxer parts pretty easily. There's plenty of companies that make the parts needed, and it's not too expensive as people routinely put that stuff never or barely used on e-bay. Do eet!

Best of luck and enjoy it!
