Yes they can.
In fact those 4 pot Tokicos are brilliant on a lightweight bike. |
They are, but the standard forks can't even deal with the standard 2-pots. The limiting factor on a standard SV's brakes is the suspension, not the brakes, IMO- the excessive dive and braking instability reduces the bike's ability to use the braking power. But with an appropriately sprung and damped front end, it'll be different.
(though then I'd like to point out that the cost of rebuilding a standard SV front end to a decent quality, and then these brackets, and the calipers, will most likely be more than a GSXR front end swap)
