Yes it is, well mine is anyway, if that means yes unless the prev owner of the forks changed it for something else.

Mud guard sorted, and will retain stock SV master cylinder for now.

Apart from some misc bolts which I can get I have everything now.

Just got to wait for it all to arrive!

Expect the pics at the end of the month when its on the bike

Next Friday is fitting day;

TL clipons
K4 GSXR 600 yokes
K3 GSXR 750 Showa fork legs
Tokio 4 pots brakes
SARD wheel & disks
K series axle with spacer
BT020 120/70 tyre
Mudguard painted silver to match by me!!
SV race shop speedo sensor


Its been painful getting all the bits right bits and making them fit, set back of getting wrong wheel and making it fit as per my other threads.

Also Wheel had to have a small buckle removed, disks straightened as they where warped and one fork leg had a tiny kink, all done my Motoliner in Maidstone, top guys.

Heres some quick pictures of the front end off the bike, will be going on this coming Friday.

Many thanks to you all for answering questions, etc and big thanks to Ben (Quest 21) for all his help and time and saving my sanity.

Expect fitted pics next weekend


Axle end skimmed to stop it sticking out due to SRAD wheel

Bens spacer to get SRAD wheel to fit my K series axle; Black tape on disk is covering up magnets for speedo sensor until the front end is on the bike.



Fender almost painted






My tips if you do this get a front end all in one go rather than picking up from numorous places, is easier.

I didn't mean to get a SRAD wheel but on the bright side its a perfect shape and colour match for the stock SV rear wheel.

Calipers have had stainless bolts fitted to sharpen them up as the orginals looked tired!

Black scratched paint on insides of disks was stripped off with Nitromors to improve the look.

All in all has cost too many £££££

Will also be adding some of Cheweys fork protectors just in case :P
