GSXR 600 K5 forks

Can anyone tell me if the forks from a GSXR 600 K5 are the same as the 750 ones,and would they be ok to fit to my curvy.

cheers

Loads of info if you google, but you will find issues with caliper spacing if you are using the srad yokes which are the best choice for the curveys. Stay with pre radial and you will be fine, well if the forks come off a K series GSXR before radial then you can space out the calipers with a couple of washers, pre K ie. SRAD gen then all is well. All above is based on the fact that you want to keep your steering lock and lockstops, if not then go ahead and get the later yokes and go the whole hog.

Not sure about K5, but I believe the 600s and 750s have the same dimensions at least, the actual settings may be different.

With radial forks in SRAD yokes, like TSM describes, I think you'll find you need to space the discs out by a couple of mm. Some of the more recent onse also have different fork sizes but I don't know about the K5.

600K5 front end is the same as the 750K5 front end and fits straight into an injected bike and also fits a carbed bike with some minor mods too. Is a far better option than non radial caliper front ends as you get awesome brakes and lighter parts too.

Plus higher quality suspension components, and of course newer parts- less likely to be worn out... But "minor mods" would be lock stops I presume- losing the parking lock is a dealbreaker for a lot of people as it can cause a lot of problems with insurance. When I was sizing up my front end swap I looked into this and all of the policies I've had the SV under required that all original security features remained present- looked into this further and for Carole Nash and Bennetts that included the steering lock. With a heavily modded bike it's hard enough to get a good price without stuff like that.
Please correct me if I'm wrong though, and there's an easy lock stop fix, it'd be good to know.

Also, using SRAD yokes means you keep the same style wheel, which is nice- they also come in the SV colours so you can fit them straight in and it looks stock.
