Think you're looking around £500 for a late gsxr front end but could be wrong.

That's quite a lot really, about 25% of the value of the bike. Does it make the handling much better and how exactly.

Sorry but I am quite new to biking and never ridden a full on sports bike with proper suspension.

I don't actually know, I'm going to be putting a late 90s gsxr front end on my bike in the next few weeks (or months ). It ain't for looks (or I'd have gone for a pretty gold or black one) but I have a few quibbles with the front end as it is (nothing major) but the main reason I'm doing it is I've seen a sv with a proper gixxer f/e on go for the brakes - and it stopped in a heartbeat. Quite fancy that sorta braking power and I can't justify the cost of a sportsbike until I'm like 21.

If you're not having any problems with the bike as it is and you're not massively vain then I'd probably leave it.

In the big scheme of things, the gixer front end isn't worth the spends. You'd be better off buying a proper sports bike. I however did it as I managed to pick up a bargain front end complete. It is the single best mod I have done to the bike, I put on a rear gixer shock to complement it and had it all set up for me and my weight and now I don't struggle to keep up with sports bikes through the twisties.

i have to agree with phil24_7 on this, for the cost of the front end plus the price of the bike its not really worth it, you could just go an get a 600. It all depends on what u want though, i know im keeping mine for a while till i build up my skill so i didnt mind spending a bit of money on it
Plus im a tart and wanted it to look cool any excuse i guess!!

No, I haven't got a picture anymore.

I just cut one piece of mesh and hotglue gunned it into place.

Theres no problems with it flexing and breaking I also did the infills in the sides of the fairings too.

Here's a pic of the side and I'll have a look through my old hard drives for a pic of the front.




*Edit*

I found the thread that Lylej started when he meshed his

He used finer mesh than I did but you get the idea.
