Often come out your way in the Summer there is that twisty road from Radcliffe to Gunthorpe, then we normally head towards Southwell after a drink at the Unicorn
sounds good-know that road quite well but have yet to ride it so will have to try it out.for some reason i normally always head south from here,must be a homing beacon as i originally lived near mallory....

SV650 fork springs 2003 onwards will pep the front up a treat & some decent rubber.
This would compliment the 600 shock in to a nice handling bike without blowing big bucks.

Loads of shocks fit in but if you want the bike set up properly, get it done off Graeme with the correct dogleg linkage.
14 front sprocket is a cheap usuable performance mod.
Just increases accelleration though you may lose 2 or 3 mph top end which you never use

you dont need to change the linkage its an NC29 and a 600 shock jacks up the rear no more than my Maxton and I am pretty sure they know their stuff.
