Thats cheap, it looks brand new. Will it fit straight in the SV?

It bolts right up to the SV, but I'll have to modify the battery box to clear the shock reservoir. Compared to the aftermarket Ohlins unit at $950, this was a steal and should be just stiff enough to dial in my bike (a little too soft on smoother roads, even at the max settings).

I replied to the picture post in YOUR journal, but hadn't seen this pic with the Yosh cans and the soft bags. Much better! I like the touches of red on the bike (bags, rear spring, TL decal). Ever consider adding more red to it? When I had my silver SV, I was considering powdercoating the wheels red, but never got a chance to before I crashed it :(

Never really thought of adding more red, but I would love some light weight magnesium alloy wheels like Dymags, or Oz. They would look good in red. But the cost puts me off. I've also got a replacement triple clamp to take motocross bars, but Ive never got round to fitting it as the fairing would need cutting up, or removing to give clearance, and I dont know if all the cables would be long enough.
