So i searched the forum but i guess it's still too new to have information on this already.
I was hopping someone out there could lend some advice on clearance issues. I have an 06 SV650S and would like to increase the lean angle the bike is capable of a bit. I find myself dragging feelers and worrying my huge stock exhaust is going to lowside me.
I would also like to note that the clearance issues isn't because I'm not getting off the bike. I will always be improving form, but I'm currently off and dragging puck, trying to reduce the lean angle of the bike as much as i can.
Right now the bike is pretty much stock. I am looking at getting a high mount exhaust and rear sets to allow more clearance on the bike. I had the Holeshot highmount slipon in mind and i haven't found a rearset yet. I like the Holeshot because it allows me to keep my rear passenger pegs, is out of the way, and it looks nice. I'm not looking for a power increase from swapping the exhaust so i figure a slip on will do the trick. This is still a street/track bike and i would like to take my wife out for rides once in a while so the rear pegs are important. I'm torn between two issues with the rearset. I like the idea of a peg that flexes, thus preventing a lowside from grinding a solid peg, like the stock ones do. The problem is i want to bring the rear sets higher up and all the after market sets have stiff pegs. I'm currently contemplating making a mount that would allow me to raise the stock mounts and get grippier pegs to bolt on.
Does anyone have any insight they would like to share? I would greatly appreciate it.
