Iv'e done a search and read quite a bit about fork swaps but have not found an answer to my question which is simply can i fit srad 600 rwu fork internals into my K3 lowers? Any advice appreciated

Yes you can do it, no you can't "simply" do it.

Cheers mate....enlighten me please as to why not simply? Is it a big job? Iv'e stripped the forks and done the seals but the left one just keeps ripping the new seal due to pitting in the fork travel area. Thought about a new stanchion but i would rather replace with better internals.

Well that bit isn't really "internal" for a start

And the SRAD ones are a good few mm fatter than the SV ones!

Just use entire SRAD front end

When i did the seals i gave them a full internal and took everything out cleaned it all and put them back together with fresh oil. If i fit the srad front end do i basically need everything off the srad...wheel,mudguard,top/bottom yokes,calipers and clip-ons? and what about the speedo pick-up does that have to be done from the back wheel?

Yes everything. Think you can use VTR clipons or custom ones if you want higher.

Would turn out an expensive mod then....probably worth it though. Thanks for your advice YC.

Sell your existing stuff and it's not too bad

How about putting in zzr600e internals? Is it just a case of taking everything out of the forks and putting it in the sv lowers or does anything need to be machined or cut down?

Is this a game of name random bike front ends and see if YC is enough of a sad tw*t to know how to frankenstein them into an SV?

(No smarmy comments please, I have long since resigned myself to the answer to this question...)

Not sure about ZZR600E, thought they had 43mm fork.
