Default 04 SV - Levers for GSXR front end?

Hi everyone I'm brand new to the forums and I have a question for you. I bought my 04 SV a few months back and I wanted to purchase new brake and clutch levers for it so i ordered them online. Then I realized that previous owner put a GSXR front end on it. Well the levers have arrived here and they do not fit, so I was wondering with the GSXR front end do i need to purchase GSXR levers for them to fit?

As above really. If the previous owner changed the forks they may well have changed other parts to match. Normally the SV clutch lever would be retained as you simply swop the entire fitting across, but most upgrade the brakes so as NTECUK says you need to identify which master cylinder you have.

I believe you've got an OE Nissan radial master cylinder on your bike....

And yes that is the master cylinder I have! So does that mean if I wanted to replace the levers on my bike I would need to order aftermarket gixxer levers?
