I'm not able to post photo's :disappointed:

I've got this now available:
GSXR 600 K6 fork with callipers
K4 Triple clamps (steering lock left, not right)

Can I use my stock steering lock? Or do I need a GSXR K4 steering lock?

 

How many post do I need before I can post images/links?

 

Ok, sorry for the few posts in a row ;D

I'm able to post images now.

This is the GSXR 600 K6 fork:

This is the K4 triple clamp:

And these are the callipers:

One told me that the K6 fork will fit in the K4 triple clamp, with modifications... Is that true? K4 and K6 have the same top fork dia, and 54mm vs 53mm bottom fork dia... that should be able to make it fit right?

 

Those aren't K4 triples. All 04 GSXRs have the ignition on the right. I suspect those are 06-09 600/750 but I could be wrong.

 

You sir are correct It's the original triple clamp from those GSXR 600 K6.

Now I've got 2~3 options:

1. Buy a GSXR 1000 K3/K4 upper part, there the stock lock should fit (right?!?)
2. Buy another lock which fits in this triple clamp (and my SV1000N)
3. If possible, modify current stock lock to make it fit in this K6 triple clamp

What would you guys/gals do?

 

03/04 GSXR1000 has 32mm offset while 06-09 600/750 has 30mm offset, so it won't fit right.

You can bolt your ignition switch onto that (might have to oval the holes, I forget), but you won't be able to lock the steering (unless you do something like drill a hole in the frame, I wouldn't do that).

If you get an 05/06 GSXR1000 top triple, you'll have a steering lock with the bars straight. That's the only option using all factory parts.

 

Sorry for my late reaction :-\ Bought another house so another priorities...

I've looked up the measurements and indeed, I can use my 600 K6 set with a 1000 K5/K6 top triple.

I got the black tokico calipers, so no spacers needed for that, right?
Any advice for spacers? Does my factory front wheel and axle need spacers?

 

You can use a 04/05 GSXR600 top triple but need the stem hole bored. Don't remember the size off the cuff. For street, I think it's a great idea. I'm a little cautious about removing that much material from a race bike; I have no facts to back this up. Maybe you could add more material at the back to regain strength

 

approximately 28mm

if you're having boring done, you can also use an 01/02 GSXR1000 or 00-03 GSXR750 triple and have it offset bored

 

I just bought a used 2005 sv650s that has a 2004 gsxr600 front end mod installed by a previous owner. I'm trying to figure out what my options for steering dampers are, as I've had high speed wobble a couple times. I'd love to be able to buy an affordable OEM stock gsxr damper which are available on ebay for $30, but I'm pretty sure it won't affix to the frame of the sv, which I think lacks the connection point. I've searched for "damper" in this thread but haven't quite found a clear result. What are my options? I'm waiting to hear back from Scott's to learn about their damper compatibility with my particular setup, but it would be great if I could avoid spending $500 if the OEM part can work.

 

you can run the Scotts, it requires the GSXR nut and nut holder and then the SV frame mount

are your forks sticking up through the triples at all? what size front tire?

 

Re: GSXR Fork Information / Permutations - Speedo Kit

All I have been able to come up with for the speedo correction is a guy Jim at socalsv's which I couldn't find anywhere and whose verizon email got bounced back. I have also heard of just getting the Digikey and making the magnets myself.
Is there still a source for the kit, or the fancy, plug and play caliper button/magnets pre machined?

Thanks in advance if anyone knows of something.

Have all my other parts in place.

So, I want to rebuild my calipers, but am unsure which year they are.
Seller said they were 750 K8 units, but visually they are identical from K6-l0.
According to ronayers the partnumbers are different for K8+ and the rebuild kits are different as well.
Is there any way to identify which exact calipers I have?

 

Hi all. Lots of info here. I want to do the swap on my gen2 as painless as possible. Plug and play style. I have a line on a 06/07 600/750 complete front end. Sounds like I just need a 05 1000 top clamp to make it work. Aside from ignition, speedo and bar clearance what else do I need to consider?

New seals, oil, and possibly springs for your weight. 10+year old girls are well overdue fora rebuild

 

is your bike naked or S? throttle and clutch cable will likely have to be replaced if N.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. Mine is an “s”. Hope it goes smooth. I don’t mind shaving off a little material here and there or re routing things. Replacing cables would suck. Once I get everything together I am doing it at my mechanics house in his home garage. His time is valuable and I don’t want to waste it because I did not do my homework. Cheers!

sounds like you're putting the bars in basically stock SV location so stock SV throttle and clutch cables should be fine

I'd recommend upgrading the GSXR lines to stainless. You might need slightly longer than stock GSXR lines due to the risers too.

 

Longer lines makes sense to compensate for the risers. Thanks.

Question for clarity. Just bought a complete 04/05 GSXR600 front end. Wheel, Brakes, forks, both triples, controls etc.

I've seen comments that this will bolt right up no problems. I've also read that it will need to be bored from 25mm to 28mm. The need to be machined is ONLY required if I'm trying to use a 28mm top triple correct (gixxer1000,06+gixxer600/750) correct? Which should not be required as I purchased everything intact and complete.

 

If you indeed have everything 04/05, you don't need to do anything but bolt it up. The boring happens on, I believe, 06+ stems combined with the 04/05 top triple

 

Give me time, I'm coming up with a complete kit for the Gen2 using 2003 GSXR Front End.

- ABS Swap
- Speedo Swap (Rear Wheel)

 

Sorry for my replies, but I don't have/see the

button :confused1:

Anyway, the K1 upper tripple doesn't fit, as the triple clamp offset is 32mm and not 30mm.
I could ask https://www.topyokes.uk if they can make a GSX-R600 K6 uper yoke with a ignition fitment for a SV1000...

 

05/06 GSXR1000 top clamp gives you an ignition lock with the bars straight. There are no options using unmodified factory parts that put the lock to the right to let them lock left.

I have a TopYokes triple on my SV. Quality is good but it tends to take longer than he says it will. Tell him the combo you want and he'll do it, I don't think he even charged me extra.

If your bike is an N you can probably get him to put mounts for the gauges on it too.

 

Yes I’m in contact with Matt so I think that’ll be my best option. Thnx!

 

Just want to confirm, are 2005/06 gsxr-1000 the only forks that come in the black slider and bronze tube combination? Just bought a 2004 sv650 with what the owner said were 600 forks on it, but I just want to make sure.

 

they're the only GSXR forks I know of with a bronze tube period.

 

Great post @D'Ecosse

 

lol not even a thanks ? -__-

 

I have an 04/05 GSXR 1000 front end close to me. If I bought that, would I be able to fit the upper from a 04/05 GSXR 600/750 triple on it? After that, it should bolt on just as well as a whole 04/05 600/750 front end to my 2008 SV650S, correct?

 

04/05 are two different generations of GSXR1000.

04/05 600/750 top triple won't fit on either, because the stem hole size is 25mm vs 28mm on both 03/04 and 05/06 1000. the offset is also different on 03/04 1000 vs 04/05 600/750.

03/04 GSXR1000 has the steering lock in the right place for a 2nd gen, 05/06 has it centered which results in steering lock with the bars centered

all of those generations are a little on the short side for the SV. your best option is 06+ 600/750. note that there are some significant changes after 06, but they're all good options: 08 got separate high/low speed compression damping, 11 got a smaller axle, there are various different rotor bolt patterns, etc

 

I noticed a pool of oil on the ground one day and traced it up the fork leg to the top of the dust seal. Uh oh... time for new seals. Leaky fork seals are a common problem on older SVs.
