naked svs (gsxr front end)? - SV650.org

21-05-06, 04:33 PM

Hi,

My GSXR front end on my crashed K3 is progressing slowly and painfully (financially - my advice, just buy a complete front end inc. wheel and mudguard - I turned one down to save a few quid and am now regretting it!). Anyway, I never much liked the look of the standard SVS front end, and am going for Renthals anyway (I'm accident damaged aswell).

The original idea was a speed triple look, but Im also considering a K4 gsxr or hayabusa headlight as I like the looks. I loved the special with the Buell twin lights and flyscreen posted recently, but I assume that will be megabucks to sort out (which I will shortly be spending on the correct front wheel for a K4 GXSR frontend).

The only thing I have to work with is the original clocks, a twisted fairing barcket and the wiring loom for the headlights.

Any of you guys done this, or have any suggestions on how to mount the clocks and lights?

Cheers

Munch

I'm not familiar with the pointy frame but the best place to mount lights is on the frame. On my curvy there's a lug for the front subframe that I have my lights mounted on. It means the wiring is clear of the forks and bars. Keeps everything off the forks as I thing that fork clamp headlight mounts look a bit cluttered.
