They're all the same, I think even the curvy even had them. So any Naked SV up to whenever they made them. I spoke to Suzuki today, as they have a little warehouse and said all the bars are pretty much the same from bandits, SVs to Hornets etc.
Could you also ask him about ZX10R 06-07 Rear Shock? If not possibly ZX6R 04-05. TA!
Just put gentle pressure on the gear lever, shut throttle and the gear will pop in on its own. Its really easy to do clutchless upshifts. Same with Rev Matching on downshifts...
Trusted you mate.
Some good news, not so good on the shock front though.
Thanks, I messaged you back.Trusted you mate.

I got the hanger, but its slightly bent... Idk if I should send it back and look for another.

Looking to fix my bike tomorrow - or at least some of it.

As I don't have any/many tools will that box set me off to a good start?

Be careful not to over tighten the cover bolts, other than that it should be plain sailing
Grab a good set of allen keys as well. And a spanner set if you can. Those three and a set of screwdrivers will get 90% of the work on any bike done

@IC3 , if that a foot guard thing? Looks quite bent to me mate.
Does it screw in ok?
Do you want me to pop down to the breakers and get some pictures of the bars? There are three different sets he had I believe.

Brakes cleaned, greased and ready to go.
Going to need front pads soon though, might try some brembo pads out.

do you have a gasket or flange sealant?
I have a thin metal gasket which has this red stuff along it (which I assume is sealant). Figured that should be OK?
Not heard of a metal gasket for a stator cover....but I'm not all knowing either. Assuming it's the right part then it sounds about right
Edit: Another useful tool for what you are doing is a length of copper pipe about 7-8 inches long. Flatten one end with a hammer. Use this to scrape the old gasket and sealant off the engine and stator cover. The copper is softer than the casing so it's safer to use than say a stanley blade

What callipers do you have? Brembo I'm presuming?
the road and track (silver backplate and reddish pad material) are meant to be excellent.

Just the standard 2 pot Nis calipers. But, find them to be really good for their size.
I've tried ebc before, they were okay, just thought might try brembo out.
