Disclaimer Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 The Gen1 SV's are a little goofy looking IMHO, but still great bikes. It's pretty rare to see one out too, so that's kinda cool.Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost1888 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 yeah, i dont want to throw a shit ton of money at it, but i was thinking about the gsxr front swapI hear many guys are getting around $300 for the stock forks. So you can recoup quite a bit of money if you do decide to do it. I think the emulators, oil and springs ran me just under $300. You probably already know the cost though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio Flyer Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Nice. Wish my bike wasn't the "S" model. I need to get an under cowel on mine. I think they look a little goofy with out them. Glad you got that SV though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the one I have is actually new... From 2005, though...It works. Here's some help from SVR on the subject. http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=30707You can also talk to Zach. He's been around Sv's a lot longer than I have and might know what works best on a 1 gen. I installed a Zx10 on a 1 gen and had to do some modding to the battery box and rear fender to make it fit right because of the reservoir .
