I would probably make a better return buying a second hand set and selling mine on second hand as well.

If you can get them in that yellow (thats a limited run in the UK as its a US spec)
Painting would be 200 notes max

That's a little less than I expected but still a tad on the expensive side, but possibly something I'd consider in a few months if I have no luck on eBay ect..

Good luck you might hit lucky. I looked for 6 months for a like for like fairing and nothing come up

I like like the contrast, makes your bike unique. Other than the cable ties on scotty it looks cracking to me. How do you find the pilot 3s?

I've had them on for around 300 miles at the moment so only really just got them going.. they have replaced BT023's and what a replacement, the PR3's blow them out of the water!

The grip is phenomenal it just keeps giving. They warm up fast and respond brilliantly.

However they were quite expensive, I paid £230 ride in ride out. If you shop around you could probably find cheaper, but they are definitely worth the few extra £££.

Good to know, i had more or less made my mind up thats what id get when im on the gixxer as the tyres dont have alot left and theyre diablos and i ride all weathers, only heard good things so think i will be shelling out for some. Gona be budgeting around £240 just incase, better than buying new bits if u come off in the rain!

Very nice.
I wish there was some alternative to them mean looking HID's for a nekkid. I love yours but hate the 'one hid ring' look that seems to be getting popular on the nekkids.

How did you find out which gsxr forks would just straight swap over? (Interested in doing it myself)

I like the lowers in the dark colour. Works for me.

I can't find it now sorry, but floating around on this forum somewhere is a spreadsheet/table showing what fits what.. but the K4 GSXR1000 fits directly onto the K4 sv650 and therefore also the K5 and any others with the same front end as the K4 hope thats some help!
