GSX-R Stuff. - SV650.org

phil24_7 · 07-11-07, 10:41 PM

Just been offered a nearly new GSX-R 600 front end (04-05), both wheels and wavey rotors as well as all brake lines and master cylinder etc.

Thing is, the guy (my mate) doesn't know how much to sell it to me for.

What do ya think I should offer him for it so I can fit it to my K3?

Regards

My gsxr k4 forks cost me £400 if that helps
That only included the forks and callipers.
Front wheel I think is about £150
Are you getting a mudguard too?

That should be a sorted front end matey...if you need any help fitting it, let me know...I'll gladly pass tools and laugh as you skin your knuckles...

It'll be the whole front end and the rear wheel! He says as new condition and he's a mate so I trust him.

Gonna offer him £200 and see if he goes for it I think.

You thief

The wheels alone are probably worth more than that...

phil24_7 · 08-11-07, 02:23 AM

Alright, might stretch to £400 but I'll open with £200 and we'll haggle!!

Northy, what parts will I need?

I know I need the forks, clip-ons, wheels, rotors, mudgard, yokes but are there any other little parts I'll need??

phil24_7 · 08-11-07, 04:14 AM

Oh, will the rear shock be a good match for me and my bike?

I'm about 10.5 stone and ride quite spirited but also like a bimble through town/rush hour traffic?

Regards

All that stuffs worth the best part of a grand. Not what you wanted to hear of course, but if you want to give your mate a fair price... (but remember that you can sell on your SV front end to get most of that money back).

As for the GSXR shock, I'd advise against it. Sure it's better than the original, but if you're up grading the front you'd be better off doing the back properly too.

If you get it for anywhere under £500-600 it'll be a bragain. I have K3 forks with SRAD front wheel etc and came to about £700. I don't think you need any little things for the pointy, I have a curvy so I'm not 100% sure, apart from the speedo adaptor kit from the guy in USA. I have his contact details if you need them.

If you have problems finding the correct clip-ons then I have some spare in the garage that I'm not keen on selling but could help you out if needed

PS Dont forget to budget for the tyre it's a 120/70 17 if I remember correctly.
