Useful GSXR Front and rear wheel conversion info

[650]

I presume this will of been linked on here in the past maybe, but I thought it'd be handy for people who're wanting some info on what's compatible. Only thing I can't seem to see is what the diameters for everything are on the SV haha! So if anyone could add that it'd be brilliant.

Generally loads of info:

I'm unsure as to how awesome all that is as I'm completely clueless, but I'll be giving it a good read tonight!

that's just an expanded version of the one that's on svrider.

good tough.

[yorkie_chris]

definitely worth a read

As a complete and utter noob to all this, is it relevant to know what the diameters of the triple clamps are on the SV or are you simply replacing absolutely everything up front? I've seen a few 'complete' front ends from gsxr's on the bay, but they never seem to come with things like wheels and discs...so it's those bit's I'm always wondering about.

i think im right in saying that nearly all front fork mods need the triple clamps changed except one where the forks slip straight in ????? (am i right)

Those are the bits that are probably hardest to come by (including a top yolk). Probably best way to do it if you can't find a complete set with wheels/discs is to buy each component bit by bit starting with the least common. But I have no patience so I gave up.

Not seen this chart before. Looks like a good reference though, and might make the task of a gsxr front end swap a bit less daunting for those people who don't have vast experience/knowledge.

Thanks for sharing

Right. But fairly unlikely, since most of the fork swaps are for USD forks, so the diameter of the clamp required in the triple is vastly different.

im sure some none USD forks swap straight in, maybe from a SRAD

[yorkie_chris]

SRAD are massive compared to stock.
