![]() True, but now these particular things are pretty old and tired - I'm a bit surprised at the prices being asked.

gsxr front ends are not the be all and end all. i have had a GSXR 600/750 K4-5 front end on my K7 for over a decade and its also been properly fettled with shim stack alterations etc.etc. the difference is about 10% better over a fettled standard front end but cost a whole lot more and the price difference is not worth it.
your better spending the money on a proper rear shock like a Nitron. then properly fettle the front end with springs for your weight, proper oil viscosity (this take a while to get right) and damper rod alterations. if you can outride a properly fettled standard front end then you should have a career in racing. the only difference is the brakes but i can tell you now that radial brakes on an SV is lethal. the SV brakes when they have been serviced correctly are good enough. |

Cheers. I've already got a Nitron shock, and upgraded springs and oil in the forks. I did really like the feel of the GSXR front end I installed on my K5 waaay back in the day... ![]() ..and didn't find the brakes overkill at all. I certainly appreciate and accept the comment about being able to out-ride a sorted set of original forks, but then that could be said about any performance oriented upgrade -there's always someone who could go faster on what we think we've reached the limits on. To a large extent it's just down to personal preference (feel, and aesthetics).

On my K2 sv650 cafe racer. Fitted the head light in the fairing and removed my front indicator brackets which were stopping me getting the fairing low enough. also I have chopped the fairing support removing all of the part that mounts on the frame tube because it just wasn't going to work.

Does anyone know anything about the SV1000 I posted the pic of above? Apparently it was an official GSXR tribute model with GSXR front end and slightly upped power etc. I can't find any details about them anywhere though?

If it's not a conversion, wouldn't it have been onto radial brake calipers by then?
