You get the idea?

Theres a search functionon the site, and there has to be something like 100 pages or so of the gsxr conversions and shock changes.

Cheapest option is to go with the GSXR600 SRAD / K1-3 RWU forks and they are lighter than the equivalent model 750 USD forks.

More or less.

Again the search function will bring up loads of stuff.

Anything else, yorkie chris will most likely be able to help with.

You rang...

Take GSXR SRAD complete front end, get special bearing from TWF racing, replace speedo sensor. Job jobbed.

Corrected for you Rob.

Yorkie Chris suggestion is the easiest to do and if I was doing mine again, this is the way I'd go.

Red Herring's is a really nice conversion too

If you make it to the next EAR rideout then you can see mine
