Default SV upgrade, advice please

I'm looking to upgrade the calipers on my SV to 4 pots, I've heard from people that I can use the gixxer and TL 4 pots on the SV (mines and 02 model). Is this true?

Also I'd like to change my front forks, any advice on what can be used ... ?

Thanks in advance

Sprocket,

If you find an answer to the 4 pot calipers please let me know. I have just added a question asking pretty much the same thing as you.
If I find anything I'll pass on the info

I don't think there are any four pot calipers from another bike that would bolt straight on. If you are thinking of changing because your brakes don't seem to be working fine have a good look at the brake caliper.

There is nothing much wrong with the brakes on the SV as per braking power. Well maintained you have got all the brakes you need.

Cheers
Ben
