GSXF 600 Forks fit SV650?
Anyone know if forks from a '95 GSXF 600 will fit straight in to a '99 naked sv650?

Re: GSXF 600 Forks fit SV650?
No idea, why would you want to?
Justs as easy to fit SRAD USD front end, with an improvement to the suspension set up and probrably easier to get hold of. Plus GSXF front wheel has a cable driven speedo & SV has an sensor driven speedo. There's so many potential differences between two

One thing is proper 4 piston calipers, but they're heavier and considering the age not that much better than a properly serviced set of standard sv jobs. |

Re: GSXF 600 Forks fit SV650?
Ah OK. Am needing to replace the fork seals on the sv, and mate has spare gsxf forks. just thought if they were compatible could use them while sorting the sv ones - but based on initial comments will just get originals sorted quickly.

Re: GSXF 600 Forks fit SV650?
Need a Twin works factory top bearing and the SRAD speedo is different
There's plenty of info on here about the swap, but its the easiest swap of the lot

If you have a pointy, later GSXR K-series USD front end is an easier swap IMHO.
