SV650 shocks are rubbish on the bike! Damping is very poor on them which is why they are easy to get hold of - that's why most people swap for GSXR shocks (I have swapped on my SV) or Kwaks. Loads of info on SV650 or SV rider of the equivalents.
Perosnally, I can understand people trying to save money, but I don't think cutting corners on shocks is the right way to go about it. At the end of the day the shocks are what define the ride of your car, they keep the wheels in contact with the ground and set the handling. I have Protech shocks on mine which i think were £380 for a full set. My car rides beautifully - smoother ride than my tin top (MG ZR) and handles like it is on rails.
