I have had my bike for a few months looking to do some repairs bike got knocked over by neighborhood kids nothing major. Other than that i my baby is prepped for riding season.
last year i kept it all stock this year i want to do some upgrades any suggestions would be nice. exhaust, shocks, And bars i feel like my bars are a bit bent i let go at 60 and the bike rides true but it feels off.
Anyone recommend any bars

 

[erstadw]

Dont have a recommendation for bars. But I would highly recommend doing a front end and rear shock swap before anything else.

Hey Washington dude.

It needs to stop raining and warm up here in Washington... Oh yea, welcome.

 

[Pádraig]

Thanks Guys.
Front and rear shocks i was going to do that any recommendation for the gen 1?
with the bars i guess i am going stock.
already have a great corbin seat

Where should i look for an exhaust.

Washington is a beautiful ride in the dry season.

welcome from the spokane side! can't wait for it to finally get warm and dry up here. still snow on the ground in some spots, and it snowed for about a minute earlier this morning but didn't stick.

If you want it fairly loud go m4. I love mine and its a pretty popular choice for the sv. If you dont want it more on the quiet side I would say yoshimura. I have also heard good things about two bros and leo vince as well. I guess just look around for the different pipes and get what you like. I do know some of the two bros pipes have removable silencers.

forgot to mention, after you find one you like, talk to blair from svracingparts and im sure he can get you a good deal. he is a site member and supporter. His e-mail is [email protected]

The weather is kicking some serious ass out here.
I really love this bike.

[LSCYCLING]

yeah really...stop raining? we need rain now before they call it a drought!

 

[sdobbs20]

haha. i have a couple of buddies that rode dirtbikes up along the pend oreille river last weekend. they rode through snow and had to turn around because it got so deep. that was around 3500 feet.

yeah i was thinking of going with the low bars, I ride naked no fly screen. but i feel really comfortable in the crouch. i was considering some S bars. any way thanks.

So you went with the complete exhaust. Big ups.
