Re: GSXR Front End Swap
thanks! i love the front fender on that pic red herring! if it has no front fairing, is that what you call a pointy?
and yes, that is me and my bike in the pic. i love the SV650S because it has the sport bike look... but that looks pretty sweet! |

Re: GSXR Front End Swap
Pfffff. Hard to say. £500-£1000 depending on how lucky you are on Ebay.
 Maybe less if you really land on something cheap.

Re: GSXR Front End Swap
I spent about £300 on mine.
 I then used my old front end parts to repair a cheap crash damaged sv and now I have 2 sv's!!!

Re: GSXR Front End Swap
so, in theory i can use the front fairing of a gsxr, correct?
i want the entire front end from a gsxr... forks, yolks, faring, caliper...etc |

Re: GSXR Front End Swap
The fairing has nothing to do with the forks.
You will need the entire GSXR front end, yokes, steering stem, clip-ons (TL1000S work well), forks, wheel, spindle (axle), calipers, discs (rotors) and fender (mudguard). Quote:

Re: GSXR Front End Swap
