2007 SV650: Project better late than never

[V1GiLaNtE]

2) Suspension
Plain and simple it sucks. Maybe if I wasn't 50lbs heavier than what the springs were intended for I'd leave them alone, but at ~200lb + gear a decade old suspension is unreliable and probably not safe. So at the very least I want to get springs and fork oil which is appropriate for my weight as well as a rear shock.

Picked up a 06/07 ZX-10r shock for about $60 shipped. These are normally going for $120+ on ebay. This year is extra desirable as the reservoir is at a 90 degree angle which means no cutting of the battery box. Direct bolt-on. Excited to get this installed when it arrives as it allows me to dump the shitty old shock for this one with Preload, Compression Damping, and Rebound Damping. The stock SV is Preload only. The forums say this one upgrade literally transforms the entire way the bike feels.  

+1 for gold
