SV1000s / GSXR1000/750 fork swap can it be done?
Hi,
Has anyone swapped their forks for GSXR1000/750 ones just wondered can it be done or would it cost too much and be a head ache? Regards Paul |

Yes:
 It's expensive if you go for a late model with radial calipers like me. It's more expensive for an SV650, because you need a GSX-R front rim + brakediscs (SV1000 is the same as GSX-R, so they don't need a new rim) On the SV650 you need to relocate the speedosensor, for example like me, to the countershaft. This requires a speedorotor, -sensor and speedohealer to compensate for the changed signal. The following models is a straight swap on the pointy SV: 2001-2003 GSX-R 600 (not up-side-down fork, possibly the cheapest) 2004-on GSX-R 600 (radial brakes) 2000-2003 GSX-R 750 2004-on GSX-R 750 (radial brakes) 2001-2002 GSX-R 1000 2003-2004 GSX-R 1000 (radial brakes) |

Wooow man, that is one hot modification. Really nice.
 I like the forks, the discs,...  I also drive the yellow one. Like it a lot. May I ask how you do it en how much you payed for the swap? |

All costs are including shipping if applicable, which is expensive for the forks and rim when shipping internationally.

 It turned out a little more expensive than I initially expected, but the looks make up for it

K2, what year/model is it you have?
Just to prove I can be a smuch of a photo-***** as Uthaug:   Though it doesn't look like that any more. As far as the speedo set-up, far easier now- there's a kit available for about £40 to do the job, removes the need for the speedo healer too. Lovely. Or I'll have my rear-axle modded speedo for sale (for a carbed model) shortly for about half that.
