    2nd gen SV650 cartridge conversion and Ohlins shock

    The cartridge kit.
    SOLD
    First up is a dopidy dope cartridge conversion set-up, custom built by Peter Kates. This kit rekindled the SV cartridge conversion craze at NHMS. It uses 20mm GSXR 750 cartridges and has external rebound and preload, both sides. Compression is also adjustable, albeit internally to remain Supersport legal.

    After talking with PK, this is a "once you go black you'll never go back" kinda deal as 1 - you need to permanently modify the fork legs and 2 - you wont wanna go back to emulators anyway. These should be installed by a professional due to the modification required.

    EDIT: I just arranged with Pete to do the cartridge install on the buyer's bike and charge ME for it...
    So these are $600 obo, paid to me.
    Your forks will need to be brought to GMD Computrack in Bellingham, MA for "FREE" (for you) install.



    The shock.
    STILL AVAILABLE
    This is an Ohlins SU3040. Fairly old (been on the bike since before I got it in 08) but it just got a soopah freshy fresh rebuild by GMD Computrack and hasn't been installed since.
    Preload, Comp, Rebound & ride height adjustable.
    Currently has a 600# spring on it which, in theory, should only be good for a gorilla (or Adam Butler), but after a lot of testing with Peter Kates that's just what worked for me. If you want a different spring I'll ask Pete to swap it out.

    Asking $500 obo.
    Can hand deliver in North Eastern MA, to any LRRS event or most TTDs... or ship (prefer not to ship).

    This setup took Pete around NHMS quickly enough to win expert races.

    So...it's PROBABLY good enough for regular folk like us. Great deal.

    Stupid question maybe, if the forks must be permanently modd'd to fit the cartridges, why are they being sold sans forks? Once modded can the forks be used with other cartridges?

    Yes. You just can't go back to emulators or damper rods.

    Lemme know a cost for just the cartridges. No way I'll be having them installed before round one but if I can pick them up before someone else snags them then have the install done when cash flow recovers this could definitely work for me.

    Updating the original post to say that I just arranged with Peter Kates to do the cartridge install on the buyer's bike and charge ME for it... So these are $600 obo, paid direct to me. "Free" install.

    Ian, I don't normally do this, but if you can commit to these 100% and want to put down a deposit, I'll make sure they stay safe until you're ready.

    You da man pete. Lemme know what you need for a deposit and I'll get that over to you (paypal cool? I'll do the whole personal payment thing so no fees). My futura has a potential buyer so if that goes through I'll have the balance sooner rather than later but barring that I'm thinking I can probably scrounge up and balance due by rd 2 or so.

    Have had a couple of tire kicks on the shock, but no money sent my way.

    Prefer to sell locally but I'll take money from whoever wants to give it to me.
