Do they fit the curvy without too much bu**ering about?

It's been done, The whole TL front end was used including wheel, disks and brakes. I believe it was a TLS front end.

It's a fair expense to go to though and I'd imagine the later GSXR forks are slightly better units, though people use them on lots of bikes so there's some demand (and thus expense) on them..

I had a similar thought yonks ago when a set was available to me. Didn't go for it in the end.

I believe the TL derived forks are considerably shorter than SV or GSXR forks.
So, what do you feel about much steeper head angles? Headshakes aplenty.... probably.

Could be problematic as the SV shock is offset I think :confused:

I may try it

To damp, or not to damp, that is the question.

Realistically, how much worse are they as standard? They can be an awful lot cheaper here so as long as they're not actual crap it could still be worth doing. It's not like the GSXR thou forks where they're more expensive than the 750 ones
