Yes, mines got a GSXR 750 front end with OEM front wheel & speedo

Requires a one off spindle & spacers.

My front end is from a L or M model, so the steering head bearings are the same as the SV

simple answer, you don't but i think i remember seeing somewhere you can with a bit of jiggery pokery run it off the back.

better to get a complete front end with wheel etc.etc and the bearing from TWF. for your speedo just use a hall effect with 4 evenly spaced magnets and if you have the OEM discs then its a piece of cake.

If you can get a GSXR600 front end, do bother with faffing about trying to make the SV wheel fit it. Its far simpler to use a Hall Effect sensor and magnets for the speedo

Pretty sure Yorkie Chris has GSXR 600 RWU front end on his

the cheapest solution to getting cartrage internals is to get a hold of CBR600 f3 forks and transplant the stanchions and dampers onto the SV lowers.

This. Also opens up the choices of fronts, there was a track curvy with a original R6 front not so long ago

Biblo you did build a hall effect bracket a wee while ago?
YC has a SRAD front to my knowledge (or whats left of it)

Ok, but by doing this you still have the sv lowers that miss the screw in the bottom that makes an forkoil change som much easier.

Ok, guess the L and M stands for years of produktion, the fork i looked at is SRAD and the bearingpart is allready sorted. Do you have pics of your mod ?

Thankīs Mike

SRAD is probably the most often used I think, do a search on here for it, thee's loads of info.

Here's mine. The guy I bought the front end off had the spindle made for me, bu its not a difficult one to make by the look of it.
