SV GSXR front end conversion for sale - SV650.org

16-07-09, 03:09 PM

due to family commitments my 2008 SV650s (twin spark) will be up for sale soon, i however have put the bike back to standard, the rear nitron is on ebay now but i thought i would let you guys (the entuisiasts, and people that gave me the idea and help in the first place) first dibs on the front end.

i have managed to use the GSXR1000 k1 front end, i chose this one because in my opinion it has the best brake fitment of any bike, the 6 pot tokiko's are huge!

one of my main goals was i wanted to do the conversion without making any mods to my bike, wich i managed, i also wanted to use the original wheel not the gixxer one, so i had made some one off adapters to allow the forks to accept the sv wheel, spindle and speedo drive.

The bars are tl 1000 s and they feel very simular to the svs ones.

to anyone who has even thought about doing this mod, i can only encourage you to do it, it changes the bike completly, for the better, and i know lots of people say their bike is fine as it is, i can promise if you change it you will be amazed, this is one mod that really does work.

here are a few pics, i'm looking for £500 for everything.

contact me on 07717 292445

many thanks

All looks very clean and will be a good deal for someone!

6 pots look better but the 4 pots are best for performance...

Bump!!

out of interest, why are the exposed bits of the forks gold and silver? are they faded/tarnished?

That era of fork has some sort of hard coating to reduce stiction (TiN coated IIRC).

It is normal for the coating to become rubbed thin with use and give that colour pattern. It does not noticeably affect performance.
