Default K3 calipers

Can someone please let me know which of the gsxr front calipers bolt straight onto the sv ?
I'm looking to upgrade my standard calipers on my track bike.

I think you'll find that without adaptor plates, none of them do.

Gary's correct and the standard calipers are powerful enough for mini twins racers, if properly serviced and with good pads.

New seals and clean pistons are needed for these calipers to work well.
