yes, braking is nice. the fact that i cant feel the 3 bumps at the apex of 11 anymore made a big difference in how fast i could go through there. i have all but forgotten that they are there until i ride a bike that isnt "set up".
i can still feel the bumps in 3 but they arent as bad as they were with the stock front end.
it may not have been that drastic of a change for chuck, only because he had a built stock front end before the gsxr switch. i jumped from a stock front end with heavier spring and thicker oil (both of which probably had at least 40k on them) to a stock GSXR front end which is night and day.

Correct assumption on the swap from the built front end to the GSX-R front end. ask KB, who took the bike for a ride in 2012, before I swapped it over. That thing was awesome. I just wanted the better braking.

Kb stole my sv at a td once. He came in and said it was the best handling sv he had ridden. I dont know how many or what types he had ridden by then though.
me and my bike bike have a special relationship. Weve been together for 13 years. It really does feel like an extension of me when we are out on the track together

I can back up how sweet the Snowman's Sleigh turns... Friggin thing is telepathic...

Although I think mine turns pretty nice now too... The take away is that with good components and careful set-up a SV of either Generation can turn real nice.

I agree with Ox.. The best way to really love your bike is to take something with stock suspension or unsorted suspension out for a few laps......


Oh... and Pete is supernatural!!!
