Question give me your mental ideas (front end) SV1000.

right it seems nigh on imposible to find an orginal sv thou naked top yoke ,and with my orginal idea i cant use the comfort kit (no clock bracket connections)
so im fecking off my orginal idea and open to others
not the standard gsxr fork conversion

so what do you think
a drz front end
a apprila turno front end
i want it naked so take that into account
no stupid 22 grand moto gp forks ligit ideas only people

( you have to weld the sv stem in to the yoke or have a new one made) also front wheels are lacking and brake parts are a pita to get (brembo wont sell to the uk)

i would have said ohlins RSV forks but they bottom axle clamps crack ...

Making a clock bracket is a piece of pish. And if you're not bothered about height then leave the clip-ons on and then you will definitely have a new look - cafe racer sv thou
