Headlights on a curvy- do the backs come off? - SV650.org

Bit of a daft question, but I'm hoping someone knows the answer without me going and grubbing around in the garage

Are the curvy headlights one completely sealed unit, or does the back section into which the lamp connects come off?

Nope..... sealed unit.

I'd need to cut holes in the back of the headlights, looks like. Not overjoyed at that...

Besides, my new forks arrived, so you can wait

If they fit

Got something else in the garage to play with but I might not have time. An Ebay special...

Did they cost you nothing too, Northwind?

Seriously, what forks are they?

K4 GSXR 750, one version newer than my current ones. But with all the different bits in my front end it's anyone's guess if they'll fit. I tried asking people, but, well... "Hey, anyone know if these parts will fit: An SV650, a pair of GSXR SRAD yokes, a pir of K4 forks, a set of R6 calipers, a wheel off a fireblade and SP2 discs." "Anyone?" "No?" My old ones are pretty worn out, these were £140 and I've got all the other bits like calipers already so it's a tiding-over thing. Usually I'd recoup the costs off hte old forks but I don't think they're worth much now, I've pretty much killed them. £40 spare or repair on ebay maybe.
