Default Suspension Upgrades!

I decided to upgrade my suspension this winter on the SV. I put a 2005 ZX6 rear shock in and it is soooo much nicer than the stock shock (no more pogo stick effect). It only cost me $50 ($40 for shock and $10 for misc hardware from ACE). I recommend it to anyone dissatisfied with the stock shock. For more info see:
The Kawi 636/GSXR/Busa Shock Install and The How to NOT cut the battery box. - SVRider Board

I am also going to put stiffer springs and thicker oil in the forks, but havent done it yet cause the weather got nice again after the rear shock install. I'll let ya'll know how that works out.
