On the internals, I didn't fit emulators but they seem a great solution for the SV- one thing though, there's a lot of conflicting advice abotu setting them up, apparently one phase of the instructions (whether it's the brazing or drilling, I can't recall) is totally counterproductive. If I was doing it I'd get the Traxxion drop-in kit with the different damper rods and emulators.
If you want more performance, though, you could consider Traxxion's Axxion cartridge kit for the SV- $999 and it's a new product, so I've not heard much about it yet. On paper it looks great.
GSXR front end's a bit more complex obviously- and as far as I know there's no simple way to keep the stock wheel. GSXR discs don't bolt to a carbed SV wheel (or so they say) so you'd probably need to have custom disc carriers made. Also, you'd need to build or have made a custom axle. Lots of hassle, basically... On the other hand, it's supposed to be quite straightforward to mount the speedo drive on the rear wheel, which means you can do a complete front end transplant.

$999, I think I will pass on that one but the Traxxion drop in kit is feasable. As to the GSXR front end, the auction that I linked to includes the triple tree, forks, damper, clipons, calipers, master cyl, controls, and axle. Everything but the wheel and disks. So, it is a matter of getting a wheel and disk and bolting it all up. (I think)
