GSXR600 front end on Pointy?

[Rattyratcliffe]

Thinking of swapping standard front forks to ones of a gsxr 600 k1 does any one no if its just a strait swap or do I have to swap yokes aswell? I've got a k9 sv

you will need the lot inc the wheel as with any GSXR swap. you also have to sort the speedo.

Is it worth it? Or am I better off just changing oil and springs?

[Bibio]

depends on how you ride and how much you weigh. if your over 12st then it's even new springs time in the GSXR forks.

only reason i have my front end is that i ride a lot of back lanes that are full of pot holes so i don't get my teeth rattled out like you do with the standard front end.

I am 14stone and changing springs and oil helped. I didn't have the money for full front end conversion. Even if i had I would sell sv and buy gsxr ;)

Found this interesting. I am 15 ish stone so would you recommend I change my springs. What about rear shock. The bike is new and my riding will be mainly country road blasts.

After changing the springs at the front I now feel that the rear of the bike is on the soft/bouncy side :(
My bike is K9 with 25k miles
