I bet you a shiny scottish penny that the swingarm won't fit- shock clearance is likely to be the issue, also the SV exhaust passes through the arm, I'm fairly sure that even if there is room for the shock to pass through in the right place (which I doubt, I think it'll foul the left arm) the exhaust won't. But, I've been wrong before

I reckon the sensible thing to do with that front end would be to use a set of SRAD 600 yokes, which are a better fit for the carbed SV. I'm pretty sure the TWF top bearing will work with either but the SRAD yokes are simpler for the lock stops and steering lock.
