If R&G do them for that model, that's where I'd look, I've got a set of those for the GSXR forks and they're simple to fit and reasonably pretty. Does the bike have a solid or hollow axle? Solid is harder to fit bungs to.

SV forks are narrow though, it's relatively uncommon for them to ground out I'd say.

The Solid type, I must be skilled in a special way..... I managed to make the forks touch ground, low speed right hand turn out of T Junction,
Scrubbed Exhaust, Barend, Brake lever, Forks and Bent foot brake all pretty minor but would rather minimise damage to the bike, now that I realised I can fall off.

oh yeh bust my ankle too.

looking into this meself for our race bike, because of the way the front spindle is made there is nothing currently available out there (unless someone knows something ?)
so going to try to make something up ,if succesfull will post details at a later date.

may require drilling and tapping one end which is relatively easy ,its the other end which I cant fathom yet as it has hollow for removal tool ,any ideas ?
