Default Re: GSXR front and HID -practical mechanicing help required.

Hmm some interesting development.. Turns out one of my neighbours is a mechanic and is reguarly building engines from scratch ect.. and in passing conversation today we got onto the topic of my bike (that keeps him up at night ) and I said about the front end change and he said he had a week off in November and that we should give it a go then!

So great news there, however... I want to make sure I am buying the correct part so the less demanding question I have for your .org'ers is.. would you be able to point my to a fleabay listing of what I would need.

When I find one i'll post it on here for your approval before buying!

Thanks again!

EDIT: When i say a fleabay listing.. it doesn't have to be eBay but I thought it would be easiest to find on there

Would this be suitable for my K4 SVS?

Thou stuff is most likely going to be way ott for you on the SV then.
Are you going for the USD style or would you be happy with conventional looking forks?

You doing the rear shock too?

The conventional front end like this:
iPhone URL:
suzuki gsxr 600 K1/k4 Pair Of Forks

Browser URL:
suzuki gsxr 600 K1/k4 Pair Of Forks

Will be cheaper in the long run but lacks the styling and added performance of the USD radial combo like this:

iPhone URL:
suzuki gsxr k6/k7 600/750 front radial forks

Browser URL:
suzuki gsxr k6/k7 600/750 front radial forks

Ideally I would like the USD Gold forks.. mainly because if i'm going through this hassle I want the best ones

Also the links you put at the bottom there aren't links on my laptop or phone :S
