upgrade to SV suspension etc.

[thehornet]

I own a standard 1.8 SV and need to get it much more stable on cornering basically 1. To get round quicker 2. I want to stop wanting to throw up after an hour round brands due to the roll etc. ☹️

Any ideas chaps / people who might be able to carry out the work - bucks area ???

You could do a lot worse than talking to Gary May at Freestyle. I have his inboard front suspension on my SV and the handling is superb.........especially once it was set up and corner weighted by Gary.

Completely agree with Talking to Gary at Freestyle - top bloke

 

I fitted adjustable dampers and springs (Road) from Freestyle and the handling and ride is vastly improved.

 

I went for slightly longer springs than standard on the front and 2" longer springs than standard on the rear to provide 85mm under the sump when loaded and 15mm rake - I know some will consider this much clearance is sacrilegious, but I'm fed up tapping the sump on speed bumps and the lowered drivers floor on bumpy roads. I've always considered the stance of my SV looks as though the back is too low - it now looks right.

 

I've not noticed any loss of handling, in fact my confidence is now improved when cornering.

 

Gary is very willing to merely chat and offer good advice and to make springs to order if required.
