Help for winter rebuild!

Can someone please give me the full list of items needed for a good gixxer front end conversion.

It's about time I got my bike back on the road.

On a curvy? You want, IMO:

SRAD 750 yokes (top and bottom)
Top bearing from Twin Works Factory
I recommend TL1000S clipons, myself...
Various sorts of different forks work... But what I like, myself, is using an SRAD wheel, as it looks the same as the SV, even comes in the same colour. That works well with SRAD 750 or Y-K3 750 forks. Whichever you choose, you also need the appropriate mudguard and calipers for that model.
Discs... Loads to choose from here, various GSXRS, any Hayabusa or TL, any GSXR from 97 to 2002.
Some sort of speedo fix... I like the kit they sell on SV Rider, or you cna do it the way I did with the stock parts run off the rear wheel.

Think that's it... The simplest way is to get a whole GSXR SRAD front end, they're good forks too. There's loads of other ways to do it though, mine is SRAD and K2 mixed together. You could use GSXR K1 or K2 forks if you want the gold, though they're inferior forks... Or you can use some more recent ones with teh radial calipers, but that becomes more work.

Seen that every man & his dog goes in for the front end gixxer conversion - but why do it?

you seem to be very picky recently kinvig. Main reason I suppose is the only problem with the sv's is that the suspension is well erm a bit... budget! Its all down to personal choice and if I had the time or cash i'd probably do the same. With the 04/05 gixxer with radials.

how much would it cost?

Because you get a really good front end and better brakes, plus external adjustment, and if you can do it yourself it's cheap. If I'd kept a closer eye on the budget I would have come out of mine ahead, after selling the original parts. Course, if you're a big'un, the GSXR front end will want revalved and spring as well, which adds expense.

It also looks great And done right, there's no drawbacks, apart from maybe your insurance cost and possibly putting off future buyers. Put it this way, if you're unhappy with your front end doing springs and oil is a fair upgrade... Fitting emulators is a very good upgrade... But fitting a GSXR front is a better upgrade, and cheaper, and IMO easier than emulators.
