Interesting.
I'm new here, but not new to bikes nor SV's. I bought Luis' 650 kit last winter (early 2011), and I love it. It was one of the mods that made me fall in love with my old '03 SV6 (how come its not called the "S Wee"?). I put on a GSXR front end and a zx10 shock, and I LOVE how the bike handles. Coulda bought an Ohlins and some fancy shmancy forks, but don't need them. I put more miles on that bike this past summer than I have all of my prior bikes over the past five years. I'm not a high mileage guy, but I made a POINT of riding this bike when I could.
Luis' kit was part of that. It was reasonably priced, it worked like he said it would, and the fatter rubber suits my tastes both cosmetically AND technically. He delivered what he said he would, when he said he would, for the price he quoted, and it works awesomely.
I love the bike so much that I watched for an SV1k this past fall, found one, and am performing the same mods. I've asked Luis about this kit for my 1k, though the difference will be less noticeable than on the 650. I've got some more research to do before I decide if I want this.
Luis posts that he has a product available for those who might want it. It is tried, tested, and true. It is what he says it is.
And... he gets taken to task for it. He's much more patient and kind than I would be.
You don't want the item/ service/ mod? Fine. Leave it alone. You've got questions about it? Ask 'em. I think Luis would be happy to answer them (based on my experience with him, and his restraint on this board).
If you don't want it, then leave it alone. Go find another thread.
It isn't for everyone, but its available for those who want it. Is it a necessary mod? Nope. Is it available if you want it? Yep. Right here. From Luis. At a fair price.
