SV (Curvy Naked) Front end - testing the water

[Ter]

I'm breaking a GSXR750 (99 model) and want to use the front end on the naked SV I'm building.

The SV front is in good condition and completely stock,

How much interest do you guys have in the SV front end if I said £250ono?

Front end -
Forks, Yokes, Top and Bottom,Front wheel and spindle, discs and calipers - oh and probably the speed sensor (I always go too fast anyway!)

Just want to guage how interested people are (might not be the right forum?), otherwise it goes on ebay!

:)

imho thats a bargin. The wheel is worth that alone.

The wheel is worth that alone.

What age is the SV? Was it naked to start with?

If it's a curvy, does it have the preload adjusters?

(just asking these before anyone else does!)

Bout a £100 is a good price for a wheel IMO. Discs, £50 to £100 depending on condition and lifespan. Yokes aren't especially valued for the SV it seems, I got £20 for the top one, still got the bottom one. And forks will be some completely random amount between maybe £50 and £250. Calipers in good nick, also quite random...

It's a 1999 bike,

Everything is in good condition, will post pics when I have it all apart.

Just noticed from reading other picks that I can use the SV stem for the GSXR conversion so probably be keeping that.

The bike was naked to begin with yes, I've got a S model that is parting my company soon and I'm familiar with the front suspension flaws. I've lost it a time of two!!

It has got the preload adjusters on the forks I afraid. Yes the prices for SV forks are quite random, sold a set on ebay for £155, then I saw another set get £47!!

Still breaking up the front end so watch this space!!
