expect to pay:
forks = 150>
front wheel = 100>
mudguard = 40>
callipers = 50>
yokes = 100> (if you want to keep the naked look with renthals then you will need a custom yoke make)
brake lines = £40
wheel spindle = £30>
nuts bolts etc.etc. £40>
discs = £80>

performance + tart = lodsa cash

I'd change the front springs first, as a cheap quick mod, then the rear shock.

If you can't afford USD front end, then emulators are also a good option

This!

As bib said your talking over a grand if your sorting both ends properly.

I've looked into doing a SM SV650 and just the front end was £600,
Yokes was North of £300 (Custom fit front end)
Rear wheel rotor £300 (Rim and spoking make this over £500)
Shock to suit £700 (Maxton custom)

never changed springs before how much of a balls ache is it

Undo a nut, take out spacer, take out OEM spring, replace with new spring.

But the full job will mean taking the forks out to change the oil, replace and measure air gap, then install new springs.

If changing the springs sounds like a ball ache, doing the front end swap is a big job!

A Berlin and a workshop is just as effective.

if your wanting performance (nice suspension) then don't bother with emulators go straight for cartridge drop in. cbr600 f3 or zzr600 1996-2003 (e model) both of these are 41mm. you change the stanchions into the sv tubes, they stick up past the yoke 3cm. the kwak ones can be had for very little money. then spend the cash on a nice rear shock from Nitron. svracer on here will supply you one for £360 built for your weight.

ok so it wont be tarty but it will give you super duper suspension and this is what it's all about. plus no messing with speedo setups or wondering what part fits with and where.

Is a GSXR 750 K3 shock any good for a curvy?.
