R6 Front end on a curvy

There is an Sv for sale on ebay with an R6 front end.

It uses the top yoke and front wheel as far as I can see.

How viable is this conversion?

Looks very OEM-like. Even more so than the SRAD6 conversion.

Yeah that's what I thought. Presumably means sorting out the speedo isn't a problem. Wish the pics were better.

The R6 conversion seems pretty staright forward, you'll need to mill out the SV yokes by 1mm to take the R6 forks and then you can buy the spacers needed for the front wheel from svracingspares

+ 1, personally I think the SRAD front end is better!

I suspect the R6 front end is actually a better fit though, lengthwise that is.
All the Suzuki front ends are too short.

Re: R6 Front end on a curvy

So why would you want longer forks? The use of shorter SRAD or similar forks sharpens up the geometry without making it too twitchy anyway.
