Admittedly I snapped one fork, bent the other rather a lot and buckled the wheel so there wasn't a lot worth keeping...

You can sometimes find SRAD600 forks for a sight less than SV ones...

i would love a gixr front but is it easy sounds like a lot of work to me and i want to be riding it now. i might get it bk together then start collecting the bits for a front end swap. if it can be straighten then me and a friend have looked at putting his thundercat front on for now. a few measurements and looks posible.

Right yeah a whole front end from the SRAD's will drop right in. Was 96-99 I believe. You just need a top head bearing from TWF
