Hurts don't it, I broke my pelvis on the tank (and guess what was sandwiched between! ) - count yourself lucky if they are at all recognisable.

Thinking the gsxr/other front end is the best way to go - unless you can get a really good price on standard stuff.

Was that just the forks? You've got to factor in the wheels & disks, calipers, speedo, yokes etc. You're lucky it's a naked - bars will be ok to find.
I'm trying to get clipons at the moment and it's very frustrating. Not as annoying as everyone selling wheels and disks separately though...


edt: you'll also need some new headlight holders as the sv ones loop round the forks and gixxer ones will be chunkier.

Try find some wets on wheels, then sell the rest off.
