I read that he recently retired and no longer does these baskets anymore. You must have snapped up one of the last ones! Very lucky.

@@blairhocking1921 you are 100 % correct, that's exactly what happened. Werks baskets aren't cheap, I thought I can get rid of the chudder by myself and with a help of one of my local machine shop. At the end I just spent 200€ and quite a bit of my time, and my chudder was app. 20% better. When Terry announced that he will retire, I decided to pull the trigger. I hope he will pass his knowledge and experiences to someone. Check discussion on SV portal, there are some guys who are able to provide solution at least close to what Werks was providing. Just don't install bushings on 3 posts which are holding the springs plates to get rid of forward and backward play. Your DL will shred the basket to pieces eventually if you do that.

How much was the Werks basket? Did you buy new or a reconditioned one?

@@blairhocking1921 2 months before he closed his business he started to offer basket ready to install for 410$ without the need to sending him your old basket. This is the option I went with. Prices for other options are still on his web page I think. I recognized your video. You joined to SV 1000 portal recently haven't you? 🙂 My nickname there is mimixtz. 😊

@@geminispatricio8517 oh I believe you. Such a great V Twin, and then this chudder is breaking your nerves. Werks basket is not a cheap option, but it transforms those bikes. SVs, VStroms and KLVs. First 1000km with this basket is done and I love that bike like never before.
