I've ridden an SV with the Gix shock and noticed a small difference but didn't ride it enough to say if it was better or at least have enough improvement for me to do the swap. Besides, it's a PITA to do...and since I didn't notice an immediate remarkable difference, I decided not to do it.

However....I've messed around with the preload on the rear shock a bit but put her back to where she was stock.

I also messed around a bit with the preload on the forks as well as put in a heavier weight fork oil. Doing that seemed to help with the way she handles on the rough roads we have here.

I'm satisfied with the way I have her set up now.
