You still got that 04 Si? You said to check with you when I got back, and I'm sniffin around for a new ride

From what I've heard, Traxxion is a pretty well regarded company, but the important part is that a fair number of people use them, so plenty of people know how to tweak them just right and so forth. The important thing is that you can't upgrade the stock suspension on the SV much because it is not designed for performance. People do the swaps to much more popular GSXR forks because of the great number of options available when GSXR forks are fitted to the bike. The rear shock is less tricky, and I think theres some cheap swaps for that too. Getting half off is always a bonus as well. Can you get me half off?

Ok, first off, please use more punctuation. It is hard to read your posts, I'm not just trying to be an asshole =)
Go to the svrider.com forums and check it out. They have tons of information about suspension swaps. The most common is a late model GSXR swap, just do a search for "GSXR swap" and you should be able to find the article pretty easy. Another swap is with the 03-04 R6/06-09 R6s non-inverted forks. The GSXR forks require you to replace everything on the front end, where the R6 forks you use everything stock, but you machine out the triple clamps and handlebars to fit the slightly larger forks, and you need to buy a wheel spacer which someone on the site sells. It sounds scary but a good machine shop will be able to do it for you no problem. That how-to is also on the forum. If you don't want to do either of those then you're crazy and probably shouldn't ride

Sad day. They need to learn that they need people like you to keep this forum from becoming another GDC. The rest that would do that job have all but left.
