Default Re: K1 Gixxer RWU front end anyone? Before it all hits eBay.

And the extra weight of the USD setup!

I really like the idea of this, looks standard to the untrained eye. I guess the internals are totally different (better) to? I rode my mates K2 600 and the suspension felt so much better than the SV!

Plus you get better brakes too, what would it take to fit these to a pointy?

1 thing you would have 2 try and sort out tho would be the steering lock/barrel cause on the pointys its slightly 2 the right hand side this gixer 600 is centre like the curvy sv i dont think it will just go straight on apart from that the rest may be alright 2 go on!

You would just need to get the K1 top yoke. Lots on eBay.

I think with SRAD yokes you keep the steering lock etc.

As for internals, SV is damper rod, gixxer is cartridge, they're miles apart in terms of performance.

As J666 said, get a K1-K3 GSXR 600 Top yoke and away you go.

Will bolt on.

Can't remember what the top yoke of the pointy looks like but they are either central or offset - I think they are offset, in which case the K Series top yoke will work.

Add a front wheel and brakes (free mudguard I think) and you bike will feel amazing,

Do it! I've done it on a couple SV's now and wouldn't go back!
