Brakes? On an SV?  You're kidding right?  

Everybody told me to not even bother using em.  "Just hammer it out of T2, roll off on the exit and toss it in hard into the carousel - don't worry, the front will scrub off all the speed..."  Yeah, right.  

Mine work fine with rubber lines and Vesrah pads - once you get the rear wheel off the ground going into 1, how much more do you really need??  And compared to my Road King, they totally rock. :P

Just do what I did and race a 170HP R1 as your 1st race bike... Just man up and do it  ;D

Haha...I'd like to survive a little longer than just that race!!

99's had a recall.....spinning crank bearings.  Fix was a baffle that went into the oil pan.  We were a victim of this.

All of them have a problem spinning a rod bearing, just ride a long enough wheelie, hold it up there for a mile or so in 4th gear ;)

What about that stock SEAT?  That thing is like 7" thick. Would it benefit to use a thinner seat and get your butt down farther?

I took about 2 inches out of mine and it has really helped me move around a lot more.  I am real short at only 5'6 and the stock seat was keeping me planted dead center until I shaved it down.
