Thumbs down Crashed

Hi all,

crashed my sv today, decided it would be an idea to ride my bike into the back of a VW golf. anywho my forks are a slight bent and now i have the perfect excuse to do the fork conversion. does anybody know of any fiches or walk-throughs on doing the conversion im not too sure what forks fit the SV and i would greatly appreciate if somebody knowledgable could help me out.

Thanks alot,
ben.
