Yes very easy...
Just use GSXR750 forks to bolt them to!

There really are only 2 options:

The stock 2 pots, they have been fitted to a number of bikes like GSR750, ZR7S etc
GSXRK1-3 4/6 pots... fit using brackets... Zoran/TWF racing made some that work properly... SV racing parts sell some that don't.

Otherwise you are into swapping front ends.

Hey Griff, maybe someone*nudge* should take upon themselfs to get some brembo calipers fitted to the sv forks, and to srad forks on the sv and write a good thread for the rest of us.
You will? Jolly good show old chap :D

What's point of fitting brembo, the stock calipers are better than the forks.

SRAD forks are easy, loads of people done it... here are mine

What's wrong with the SRAD? I'm after a project for the winter.

I meant he should do both:p, brembo to stock forks and to srad forks. I want to try the 3(or is it 4) different sv fork upgrades before I change to srad forks but would like to already be on better brakes before I change, one change to one area at the time, I've been busy with logging what changes makes me go faster around the local track(albit a go-cart track), what is feels like after the change, what different tyres feels like etc etc
It's the only track I know good enough to push the power ones I'm on now, they are magic, when you go over the limit by a smidge you have a "mini" slide on the front, a pre-lowside warning you might call it. I'm pretty consistent, a good base for testing different stuff I would say, just for the heck off it, everyone needs a hobby.
Beer drinking would be cheaper, but this is more fun.

If I could afford brembo I would Andy ha!

Unfortunately you'll have to wait to read that thread :P

Hmmm I'd disagree and say you're wasting your time.

Those changes when you are at 20% of your optimum won't teach you much.

Better to make the big "ballpark" changes straight away; right forks, right springs, caliper mountings, disc sizes... THEN spend your time to carefully experiment. So far I have in those SRAD forks my 8th iteration of fork valving. Do same for make of brake pad. Choice of clicker settings etc and you can have it just how you like.

Thanks.



Sorry to be thick but...............

Without changing forks I would need adaptor brackets. Okay I understand that, but the TWF/Zoran website doesn't list them whereas SV parts does. So other than get some ally plate and a needle file, where other than SV Parts could I get them from ?

Is there a drawing of the brackets anywhere ? as there is a supplier on ebay who will make to order ?

As and when I get some brackets, its only the "GSXRK1-3 4/6 pots..." that would fit then.

Lastly, do the hoses need lengthening/changing, or will they still fit ?

thanks

Nowhere. TWF made one batch, only out there secondhand occasionally now.
Hoses will still fit.

Take it since you're looking at this you already have a better master cylinder, braided lines, good pads and excellent condition caliper then?
Otherwise, there's no point.

Bear in mind how fast the minitwin guys go with stock calipers... there is no need IMO to put other calipers.
