K7 GSXR 600/750 or K8 GSXR 1000 Forks
Anyone know if a complete front end from a 2007 GSXR 600/750 or a 2008 GSXR 1000 will ,with a bit of effort, fit onto a 2000 curvy.
I know the speedo drive will need moding, but I am thinking steering stops, and head stock bearings. I haven’t got them yet, so don’t tube dimensions, but would using the SV triple clamps be an option, with a little machining. Thanks Mike |

Why are you looking at these 2 particular models? because you've got them lying around? or for the Radial brakes?
As said the SRAD will be totally sufficent as an upgrade on the SV & the SRAD triple clamps can be adapted for the curvy the easiest. All the later Gixxers after SRAD will fit the Pointy though. |

There are quite a few on USA eBAY,that are nearly brand new and criminally cheap,( even with shipping), and my dad has a K7 GSXR 600 and i love the front end on that. Mike |

It would be the easiest, but your buying quite old bits of kit now, and with age, (as some of us know) comes wear and slack.
I was very tempted at SVrash setup, his looked top spec and fair price, but for half that you can get the newer kit from the States. Mike |

I think you would be on your own trying to figure out how that would work seeing as SRAD on a Curvy has been done to death.
What are the chances of you upgrading to a Pointy? There are a few good people with Curvies here that might know, but they could be busy on the AR this weekend. |
