They're not that great and pretty long, better off going for GSXR rwu or usd

yep,not great choice of forks.
gsxr600/750 is the way to go.depending on your weight you can choose year that has correct springs.

Have a look here for aome adapter plates to fit Gixxer/SVthou brakes to a standard SV650. They are being made at the moment and should be ready by the end of next week.

Looks a pretty good set up, reading on though peeps are saying to change the master cylinder do i need to look down that path also to get any real benefit from the brakes (got braided lines already to go on also)

The master cylinder should be adaquate from the origional brakes...

[northwind]

Yep, it will be. I'd change it anyway, since it's kind of a shame to settle for adequate with this sort of upgrade, but it'll work.

cheers to both reply's on upgrade in brakes

issue relating to the master cylinder whats the best upgrade to standard while im getting all sorted may as well go for that also

Indeed it will be perfectly ok to use the original master cylinder, I'm still using the original with braided hoses

Northy you change most things though

[northwind]

Indeed I do But, this one does kind of make sense. Certainly not neccesary.

I don't think I would want my brakes any stronger.
(Gsxr front end original M/C)

If you get the adapter plates I don't think the MC would be the limiting factor so see what it's like first.

It's not about power, it's about how you can use it... I like the R6 master cylinder, frinstance, which has less power per mm of travel but delivers it much better.
