GSX-R front end
« on: June 18, 2005, 08:57:12 AM »
Has anyone on the list switched to the GSX-R front forks? A friend of mine bought a SV650 for racing,he put a GSXR front on it and said besides better forks it drops his unsprung weight considerably.( I forget how much he said,but I'll be seeing him soon) I have the Race Tech gold valves and springs in mine now. Wich is a big improvment from stock. But the GSX-R might be another step toward better corner speed and handling. I've seen a set on ebay with the tripple tree,and brakes for $600. But that was when I was rebuilding her, and needed other stuff 1st at the time.  Dan

Most of the front end swapping experience on this board has been done in the B4 community.

[http://forums.banditalley.net/viewtopic.php?t=197]Click here for the fork swapping thread.[/url]

The GSXR forks mentioned in the above thread have been swapped onto B12's before, but AFAIK, there aren't any active members with this setup currently.
