how much for a new front end? - SV650.org

how much would it or should it cost to replace the front end on my bent sv with used parts?
after a closer inspection the bottom yoke is bent so i'd need everything from the head stock forward.

See SVrash's costing sheet - looks like you get Gsxr upgrade for the same price

Yep, if buying used you could almost certainly do GSXR for less in fact, SV bits are in higher demand it seems. I sold my SV bits for more than I paid for my GSXR bits...

Or Motoliners to straighten everything?
If bizarrely you didn't want the upgrade

Take a good hard look at the frame before you do it.Any distortion around the headstock and it's scrap.

My friend is selling a complete frond end complete with forks which have Ohlins springs and Emmulators fitted and wavey discs. PM me if your interested and i will find out how much.

If you go for a GSXR front end then go for the K4/K5 600/750 plonks straight in pretty much and has the radial calipers and with stock internals the forks work perfect.
