What kickstand plate is on it? All I found for 2nd gen was like $55 CAN items. Into XAML? If I was into dudes I'd try to marry you. I stopped programming, unfortunately, before I could switch to WPF.
just some chinese junk (since it can't really fail since it's not doing much). cant find this specific one but theyre all over ebay www.ebay.com/itm/Side-stand-Sidestand-enlarger-Kickstand-Foot-Pad-Plate-SUZUKI-SV650S-SV-650-S/123894347363?hash=item1cd8adb663:g:txoAAOSwx8pdbP8e
@@Mad8vCycles Speaking of frankenshocks, I've picked up a ZX14 shock... I figure the extra spring rate will be alright for the eventual luggage I intend to install... anyway, anything I should know about this swap in particular? Can I use the stock lower bolt? I read that I cannot? Any advice for a good alternative? Thank you.
@@bobrowley4346 for the bolt and nut there is an svrider thread with the part numbers. The 90 degree reservoir ones fit fairly easy in 2nd gens. The 45* ones are hard
@@Mad8vCycles Ahh alright. What year would you recommend? Are any of them truly "drop in" without needing any modifications? I've seen a lot of people have had to cut their battery boxes and what not. I've done quite a bit of reading, but haven't found any mentions of installing them in the ABS version, so I appreciate the reply. I'm also a fairly light rider ~160lbs with gear, if that matters.
@@recreate3204 at 160lbs pretty much any zx/gsxr will be too stiff and likely need a respring. Im not actually sure having never owned an abs bike, but there was a recent thread (2 years ago is recent right?) On svrider where a guy was figuring out the same thing you were. Don't follow the "regular" sv shock swap because the abs module is right there and changes things a lot.

Hello! Thanks for the video! 1 question: from which bike you took this Ohlins rear shock?
it's an SV650 shock. ohlins makes them (or maybe used to) for the sv. su606

@@Mad8vCycles thanks for the response!) SV 1000S 2003y will be the same Ohlins rear shock?
@@vasilijburakinskij544 sv1000 would be differently valved and sprung since it's a heavier bike. i dont think they made one for it
Excellent, thank you.
Got to love working on bikes.

@@Mad8vCycles Nice! This will suit my needs perfectly.
Where did you get the rear hugger?
from someone... they're out there (ebay, svrider, fb groups etc)
how's it ride tho?
slight improvement over the 323, obviously night and day vs stock or any frankenshock

Do you know if the ZX10r shock swap will work on the 2nd gen ABS version?
for the abs bike you want the ones with the 45 degree reservoir angle.
so i guess... "depends on which zx10"

@@Mad8vCycles Alright, appreciate the help. I'll dig around and see what I can find. Damn ABS unit, making my life hard.
What brand of shock is that? I am looking to upgrade to a higher end after market rearshock. I don’t do track rides only street rides.
that is an ohlins. but penske, ktech, nitron, elka, etc are all great options
Thank you!
