front end swap

[zsv650]

so i've seen a few done on here and i've gotta say i'm tempted but where do you start how much is it going to cost and what's the best to put on just interested to hear see what people reckon.:D

You will make most of the money back by selling off the standard SV parts afterwards.

You will need the entire front end, for a Pointy the K series GSXR's are the way to go. Best to look for a decent condition and priced front end, some are at ridiculous prices on Ebay. Contact a local breaker if you have one.

No. We have a perfectly good search function, it's just a shame people cant use it.

I guess that if we do sticky the front end, the brake bleeding, and the do I need a PC III? threads then it'll go very quiet in here..... ;-D
