K4 SV1000 - GSXR front end
Hi guys,
Time to let this go, I want something else. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143970237672 Open to sensible offers, but won't be giving it away as it's a unique beast. No biggy if I need to keep it, I'll just make room for the new steed and keep this for my son Get in touch via the Ebay ad as I'm likely to forget to log onto here to check replies!

Re: K4 SV1000 - GSXR front end
That was quick, well done - it was a looker
Out of interest was the gsxr conversion a notable improvement? I'd always heard the though forks weren't bad.

Hard to say - the bike only had 7500 miles on it when I made the change. Did it mainly for cosmetic reasons if I'm honest. Can't say the handling or brakes were night and day. Certainly seemed to hold a line better, but then I am no suspension expert. The SV1000 K4 forks are the better of the two versions that came on the SV1000 (they changed from 05) I believe the valving is better on the earlier forks. I've dropped a message to a knowledgeable guy I know to confirm that. Anyway, I'm sure with correctly set up forks, there's absolutely nohthing in it for day to day riding. But I'm sure the GSXR forks come to life on track where it counts. I didn't spend a god awful amount on the conversion, I made various bits back by selling the GSXR front wheel and tyre, etc etc. So I'd recommend it, it's dead easy, especially on an S!

Re: K4 SV1000 - GSXR front end
Don't think anything changed as the offset, fork length (etc) all remained the same from memory. Either that or the offset was so minor that it was here nor there. It tipped in nicely, held a line and felt more compliant. This is in contrast to the GSXR1000 forks I had on (which admittedly looked a lot cooler as they're gold with black stanchions) that was circa 30mm shorter, it was so frighteningly quick at tipping in that I couldn't bear to ride it, so I got rid of that and bought the 600/750 shocks. Night and day difference between the two!

Re: K4 SV1000 - GSXR front end
In fact, here you go:
SV Offset Naked: 25mm S: 30mm SV Fork length 735mm GSXR forks 2006+ 600 732mm length gold/chrome leg 310mm rotors 900 springs 30mm offset, 53mm lower clamp Left offset ignition top clamp, 28mm bore 2006+ 750 732mm legnth black/bronze leg 310mm rotors 1000 springs 30mm offset, 53mm lower clamp Left offset ignition top clamp, 28mm bore So 2mm off the length, everything else the same (for the S) the N is showing less offset, but as the S isn't a real **** pursing bike to ride, the +5mm means nothing. The forks are slightly softer on the 600 - but that suited me as I don't like a rock hard track weapon anyway, I ride on the road and have a zillion speed bumps to contend with...London in a nutshell.
