GSXR Front End Swap
Ok, you guys in the UK have my attention. NO ONE around here has even heard of this, so naturally, I'd like to be different.
Give me a bit of info on this swap, and the details on what I will need. Will I need actual new fairings and windscreen and shocks? Let me know... I'm interested. I will keep you updated with pics as I progress. |

Re: GSXR Front End Swap
If that is your Pointy in the avatar then the K1 onwards GSXR front end will bolt straight on with no over issues other than the speedo.

Re: GSXR Front End Swap
2004/2005 GSXR is the best option on a pointy. Cost of the parts were actually less than what you can get for the second hand SV front end (except i blew that by buying the braking discs). And you can also fit a standard GSXR mudguard/fender if you want a sports bike look.

Re: GSXR Front End Swap
And also go to SV Rider, which is a brilliant US-based SV site. Not that you're not welcome here but you might find those guys helpful too
