Re: USD GSXR1000 k1 forks | standed forks - curvy
for a start you cannot use radial brakes on the GSXR100 K1-2 front end... unless there is a magic kit somewhere...
you are putting the exact same forks i have on your curvy... there are only 2 types of callipers you can use.. GSXR1000 k1-2 6 pots or GSXR600/750 K0-K3 the centre to centre bolt hole fixings are 62mm top yoke is 50mm bottom yoke is 54mm centres are 207mm offset is 32mm.. i guess if you want to keep your steering lock you will need a srad top yoke.. best man to ask would be northwind... there was something else about the bearings/stem being different but i think that was for fitting the srad USD forks.. have you thought about using TL or bussa forks.. reason i'm saying is that the wheels are easier to get a hold of and cheaper..

Re: USD GSXR1000 k1 forks | standed forks - curvy
Bibio have you checked SV1000 calipers I was pretty convinced they are also same mountings.
Why do you advise just a SRAD top yoke? I'm not sure about the lock stops on the later stuff, so I'd use top + bottom from the SRAD.

Same steering bearings used for every GSXR since the SRAD. The curvy uses the old way of doing it with a smaller top race same as the slingshots and about a million other suzukis. Thus to put SRAD stem into curvy frame or any other older frame you need TWF bearing which has correct OD for frame and bigger ID to fit spindle.
