The two options a hagon in hainault or ohlins
Might be worthwhile to chat to stevejordam motorcycles and see what they advise. They used to race sv650.

Yeah it was Stevejordan that pulled me towards the linear springs as I was set on Progressive, but apparently, if you're a lighter rider, the bike will bounce all over the place until you're tight into a corner, then everything will stiffen up.
The racetech springs they offer get decent reviews and seem to be made of quality material.

Much obliged. I will take you up on that as long as I hope I'm not imposing. Just gotta collect the rest of the gubbins/parts.
Heavier oil is the plan too. For my weight, a 10w seems recommended, but I do prefer a slightly stiffer ride so might mix and for a 12w, either that or just go for Silkolene 20w.
I'd like to replace the springs as well simply because I've opted for a stiffer shock at the back, and I'd like to balance things out.
