Re: Fork Swap - GSXR - advise please
Using a K4 front end on my Sv, it's got GSXR top and bottom yokes, with standard stem.
Bottom bearing is same as Sv, top one you need to use the special sized top bearing. Can't remember the size off hand. Speedo you need a Hall effect sensor and magnets glued into the disc rotor bobbins. Or run one off the back wheel. Not sure if your front wheel is compatible with your front end? Think Bibio says it should be a diamond spoke version. Mines got the GSXR one. SvRider forum has a lot of helpful advice

Can anyone point me in the direction of some 50mm top and 54mm bottom yokes that I can put straight into the curvy Sv

Re: Fork Swap - GSXR - advise please
check all balls conversion chart, I've no doubt whatsoever that the bandit stem will fit the SV with the correct bearings.
TL wheel should also be fine, this thread is the oracle of info tbh: http://www.svrider.com/forum/showthread.php?t=135430

Re: Fork Swap - GSXR - advise please
compare stem length to that of the SV, by the way. You wanna make sure it petrudes enough to clamp down and isn't too long at the same time!

Mines using K4 GSXR 750 top and bottom yokes. Needs the odd size top bearing for it to work on a curvy
