I'm not looking to turn my SV into a track bike, the stock SV suspension is adequate for street riding I haven't found the deficiencies severe, the front dives on hard braking, so what.
where I find the SV suspension lacking is on my gravel road, fire trail riding. and of course, winter riding, frost heaves on my street grew 2" yesterday alone, due to the wet year, this may be the worse frost heave season ever
I reason I have looked towad Works Performance is that they are more dirtbike oriented
I have also spoken with the local's to me, Factory Connection, they have quoted me a price on a WhitePower shock for the rear, but haven't got back to me yet on fork work |
You're asking too much of the SV. It was never designed to be ridden off road. I can set up the forks to be much, much better, but it will never be and XR 400. Your cost on the fork work would be $505 parts and labor. As for the shock, we don't call them Doesn't Works Performance for nothing. If you want I can get you a Penske with extra travel and set up for a more off road ride for $715.
