Pre-SRAD front end on a Curvy - Page 2 - SV650.org

I never get bored of looking at your bike, it's gorgeous.

I like that, may convert me to a Curvy, it looks gorgeous.

So the SRAD is the best option it seems really? I saw a black bike when searching, it had what I thought were GSXR forks but not the SRAD ones as the caliper area was different. I think it was said they were K model, is this the latter model?

That might have been me as well

My old setup, the same SRAD yokes but with Y-K3 forks mudguard and calipers, SRAD wheel discs and axle. Sort of needlessly complicated that, I really didn't like the SRAD mudguard and it was easier to find those more recent forks in good nick. But probably not worth the hassle over SRAD forks in all honesty.

My bike's photo-pretty but up close it's a heap

Plus if you go for an SRAD front end on a curvey the front and rear wheels will match

Yep, that's a good one. Though then you might end up messing it up by fitting a random wheel designed to fit a CBR instead.

That was the one Northwind, very nice.

So my son needs to source a SRAD front end for his curvy, and what of the bearings? This is all Dave's fault by the way!

You'll need a top bearing from Twin Works Factory to fit the SRAD front end, lower bearings are the same

oh and some TL1000S clipons i nstead of the SRAD ones

Try ebay and breakers just remember that you'll need more than just GSXR forks
