Cheers, thanks for the quick reply. Have you got any of the bits yet? Do you know if the bottom yoke will be ok to use for the pointy? Also for the other bits mentioned do you know which model/year GSXR you're using as the lucky donor

Well Im doing it for my Curvy. I have the K1 forks and yokes already, but Im going to use SRAD yokes so that I can keep the steering lock. They have been bought off ebay so im just waiting for them to turn up. Im also bidding on some K1 calipers at the moment. As far as I know the bottom yoke you have will work but you will lose your steering lock. Im not certain of this though.
the plan at the moment it to use K0-3 Clipons and an SRAD wheel and disks with spacers for the disks like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT Im not 100% on whether I will need the K1 spindle (which I already have) or the SRAD spindle. (Oh yeah, you will need a spindle too) Im just sort of picking bits up as I spot a bargain and hope to have the swap done by the summer, gixxer wheels seem to be fairly expensive. This is a usefule resource: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...on-Details.jpg |

Sounds like you've got it sorted, that link of fork compatibility is great thanks. I did spot it on another thread but it makes alot more sense the further I look into it. I'm now on the hunt for the rest of the bits....cheers for your help and good luck with the build. Have you got any other plans for the curvy?
I'm just in the process of fitting a suzuki acumen cat 1 alarm so the tail is off but given up for the evening...if anyone has any instructions or fitting pics related to this alarm then pm me please.... ![]() |

lots of plans, most of them drifting towards the pipe dream territory. When I have sorted the front end I will be changing the rear shock, I jumped the gun yesterday and lost a bid on an 04/05 ZX10R Rear shock with 500 miles on it by 13p.

NIce one, yeah loads of ideas...also thought of changing the rear shock too, is the ZX 10 the best option for an 11 stone chap on a budget ???

See here: http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.p...ght=rear+shock
The ZX10 shock is stiffer and a little longer than stock, I'm more like 14 stone and think it would suit me well. Like you I am on a budget, swapping for a shock from another bike is a compromise, if I had the dolla I would be looking at Penske or Ohlins or something. |
