03-02-11, 04:56 PM

I am in the process of putting my SV650s K4 back on the road. Having got tired of leaky forks*, I've decided to replace whole shebang. I've found a set of used K3 forks at a reasonable price and just wanted to check whether or not they're compatible? Ideally I'd swap the whole front end in (as this looks less worn than the 50K mile old one on my bike), but I have no problem with my existing headstock, triple clamps, etc. and so could use those if an incompatibility existed there, but the diameters of the forks were the same.

TIA, mighty org.
