Is the only difference between GSXR 1000 K4 clip ons and SV1000S clip ons the size of the clamp it attaches to the fork?

Or do I need to do some fiddling with the grips and attachments from the current clip ons?

Right, I have found a pretty handy guide on how to sort out the front end, my problem is it is written for sorting a 650, so, on the case of wheel spindles do I need one for the front and back or will I be OK with a Thou'? And do I need new bearings?

Calipers did, I think SV1000 forks are maybe KYB though where all 750s for a while back used showa.

Your controls should swap onto the new clipons... but GSXR ones will be lower.

Yes, yes they are. My bonus is my speedo works off the gear-box and not the front wheel
