This site is excellent for which brakes work with what etc.

Basically you need wheel, discs, mudguard, calipers.

You can probably re-use your SV front tyre depending on how much sharper you want the steering to be.
I'd use the SV front then fit the steering damper if its a little hairy. Doubt there will be a problem though.

Bear in mind I'm doing mine with older SRAD bits, and I'm not done yet, so could be talking balls.

I've just been looking at that site it's just what i need. Theres not as much too it really, as i thought anyway. I'm thinking about doing that speedo sensor off that website looks quiet good and not too complicated. I like the idea of the triumph front wheel conversion but not so sure about cost.

Gixxer wheels aren't the cheapest, no idea about triumphs though.

Also remember the spacers required

Oh, and my 33bhp restriction ends the same week as yours ;D

Ha who would have thought that, can't wait just intime for the summer . Yeh the clear lights are nice, not too bright in daylight but brakelights are very bright all the time so im happy. Will no dought see you around

SSH! That's a secret! Everyone thinks it's dead impressive, difficult and expensive, and that's what we want them to think

Yeh really really hard to do . I haven't done it yet Northy, so i'll coment on that part after. I'm only going on what you lot say . Do you fancy a holiday down south?

I'll look forward to your review/instructions rich, as I fancy doing this one day too

If ya take a trip to Plymouth I'll give ya a hand!
I'm well on the way to getting the speedo sensor sorted, the sensor is available from here:

http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/bro...requestid=7579

Get the top one cuz the lower one is subject to a 16 quid delivery charge and if you register with them, delivery for the other one is free.

You then need to make a bracket for this and butcher your seedo drive (or buy a second hand/broken one) and connect the wires to the sensor.

Then buy some counter sunk magnets from eBay or magnets direct etc that will fit in the rotor holes, bolt them in and job done.

Mounting the sensor is the most difficult bit!

Triny, look in the photo's section for my GSX-R conversion thread for photo's and a description of what I did as well as the website mentioned above.

Anyone know what a good price for a GSXR front wheel is?

[phil24_7]

Going for about £150 on eBay, I plan on buying a spare when I get a chance!
