R6 Front end on a curvy
There is an Sv for sale on ebay with an R6 front end.
It uses the top yoke and front wheel as far as I can see. How viable is this conversion? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Suzuki-SV-650-...QQcmdZViewItem |

Re: R6 Front end on a curvy
Looks very OEM-like. Even more so than the SRAD6 conversion.

Re: R6 Front end on a curvy
Yeah that's what I thought. Presumably means sorting out the speedo isn't a problem. Wish the pics were better.

Re: R6 Front end on a curvy
The R6 conversion seems pretty staright forward, you'll need to mill out the SV yokes by 1mm to take the R6 forks and then you can buy the spacers needed for the front wheel from svracingspares

Re: R6 Front end on a curvy
So why would you want longer forks? The use of shorter SRAD or similar forks sharpens up the geometry without making it too twitchy anyway.
