^^^ May not end up as pretty as OnD's mill work, but now that he has illustrated the basis of design, you can fabricate those parts with some basic old-school tools - vice, file and drill!

 

True, medieval style

 

So I got the 06-09 GSXR-600 forks mounted up on my 04 SV 650. I used a 05-06 1000 top clamp, so I will have to drill the ignition/lock in order to properly fit it, as it's only hanging there with one bolt right now...

For now I used the 06-09 GSXR-600 clip-ons with matching MC. They are a little low and hit the fairing at full turn. Since this is a track bike, I could probably live with it for now...

I know that I can use TL1000s or CBR 929/954 clipons to fix this, but that will obviously require a longer brake line. What bike can I source a proper length brake line from that will work with the taller clip-ons and the 06-09 GSXR MC?

Thanks,

 

I bought 3-piece Woodcraft clip ons with a 1" rise and they are perfect with Galfer braided lines. And if you ever lowside they wont break off and are an easy fix.

2009 GSXR 600 forks

 

Finally got around to putting 08/09 GSXR600 forks on my 07 naked this weekend. Triples, forks, and wheel and rotors are on. Next on my list is brakes. I plan to use the GSXR master cylinder and calipers and the SV controls.

When removing the SV front brakes, I discovered a plug (I assume for the brake light, maybe?) running from the right side control cluster to the SV master cylinder. What exactly do I do with that plug when I end up installing the GSXR MC? Does the SV plug go into the GSXR MC directly? Do I need to swap the switch off the SV MC onto the GSXR MC?

Just did a search and came up with nothing. My bad if this has been covered before. I tried to troubleshoot this myself in the garage this weekend and ran out of daylight. It'd be nice to figure this out during the week so I can get back to it next weekend.
Any input would be awesome.

Thanks.

 

Yes, brake light. Plug them in gsxr switch.

 

Awesome. Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Will a 08 gsxr 600 front wheel fit on an 07 gsxr 750 frontend?

From the thread I think it will work but the only difference I can see from the wheel matrix is the bores are not the same. Not sure what exactly that refers to but will an 08 front wheel work on an 07 750 front end?

 

Yes it will work fine, the main difference is the rotors. 06/07 rotors will not fit 08+ wheels, but the wheels are interchangeable between the years as long as the rotors match the style of wheel.

 

thanks, thats what I was hoping for.

 

I have a 2006 SV650S. I'd like to make sure everything I'm considering putting together makes sense on paper before I decide on anything.

Here's what's going through my head right now:

04/05 GSXR 600/750 upper and lower triple
05/06 GSXR 1000 Forks
Black Tokicos
05/06 GSXR front axle
310mm rotor wheel

Edit: I misinterpreted a little of the information. I think I have it now.

This would fit without any machining, right?

What wheel/axle are you planning to run? What is the rotor from?

 

[redacted]

 

I got 06-07 GSXR front rotors if you want to buy.

 

How much for the rotors?

 

so the "bore out" references in the first post refer to a 28mm lower with an 04/05 600 top triple, right? so if i just used a 2006 1000 lower AND upper, i don't have to make any modifications, right?

 

bueller?

 

oh sorry, 06 1000 forks. the forks will fit both combos, they're 50/54 and have a 30mm offset. so i'm just asking if there's any advantage to using a certain triple other than just the standard 06 1000 triples i guess. nevermind, i answered my own question haha thanks though!

i don't care about the ignition location or wheel lock bc it's coming off the bike anyway.

 

You got it, no benefits if you aren't going to use the ignition. Just stick with whatever comes up first or ends up being a better deal.

 

hmmm, i wonder what the weight difference between a 25mm and 28mm stem is... probably negligible, huh?

 

Pretty much nothing since it is only top 1" or so that is bigger.

 

Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone know if there is anything different with the '06-'07 GSXR 600/750 forks and '08-'11 forks? Are there any difference in dimensions or color?

 

Man, I've tried to read this here and there...Don't want to clutter things up, but I came across a deal on a 2000 750 front end. Want to do this on my 03 S, but didn't see anyone here doing this conversion. Is the 00 front end doable? More trouble than it's worth, or just not popular swap? Thanks in advance for any help.

 

bolts up no problems, you even have steering lock. might have interference between clipons and fairing.

 

can someone get me a fork length on the k0/k3 600/750. thanks!

 

Hell yeah, thanks Junkie! I was thinking about aftermarket clipons to try to keep the riding position, would that help or would they need to be trimmed? I'm guessing you mean the ends of the GSXR clipons?

 

Okay, I've been looking through these fork swap threads long enough to make me confused. Can someone just look through this setup and tell me whether or not it will work together? I have a 1st Gen

05 GSXR 1000 Forks
05 GSXR 1000 calipers (black tokico)
05 GSXR 1000 Radial master cylinder
98 SRAD 750 front wheel
98 SRAD 750 rotors (320mm)
98 SRAD axle
SRAD upper and lower triples with a stem bearing replacement from TWF
5mm caliper spacers from TWF
SVS-model SS lines

From what I've read, everything should work together, but I guess I'm worried about the SRAD rotors working with the radial mc. If the SRAD rotors won't work, can I put a set of newer model rotors on the older SRAD wheel as long as they are the same bolt pattern and offset?

Also, will the SVS lines work with the radial mc and calipers? I was not entirely sure on this either.

Any help would be much appreciated.

That´s more or less the setup on my wife´s SV (except 04 GSX-R 600 fork legs and a R6 master cylinder). She has 95 triples, but they share the relevant dimensions with the SRAD ones (my setup is SRAD and 04 GSX-R 600 fork legs, rotors and calipers, therefore I know). Works without problems - not too sure about the brake lines, though, since she has a regular bar and aftermarket lines. My clipons aren´t OEM GSX-R as well.

One caveat: You have to space out the rotors by 2,5 mm on each side (I should even have the cnc programm lying around), since the SRAD triples are wider than the newer triples. Works without that as well, but barely so (rotors visibly off-center and nearly touching the caliper).

I wouldn't mix the SRAD components with the 1000 parts. I can already tell you the 320mm rotors wont work with those calipers. You're better off trying to keep the stuff as close as possible and not venture too far away from compaitiblity, you could run into problems

The lines should work, but you might need to order different fittings. Length of the line is most important other than that

They work with a simple 5mm spacer and he already adressed that (and better than me, I just used fitting brass washers).

It´s been done a lot already. For the 1st gen SV the SRAD triples, axle and wheel are the way to go regarding compatibility with steering stops and ignition lock (as long as you care about that).

Srad rotors will work with 5mm spacers as you mentioned. You could also find sv1k rotors for that wheel. MC has nothing to do with rotor size so you good there. Lines will most like be to long and weird routing due to mc banjo on bottom.

 

Awesome, thanks guys, thats what I needed to know. I found an awesome deal on an SRAD wheel with rotors and a (well used) tire that I wanted to pull the trigger on if it would work out. I didn't really want to use a newer model wheel because I'm not a fan of the mismatch wheel look and I have no real interest (or the funds) for a gsxr rear swap at this time. The rotors were what I was worried about the most.

If I was to get a set of SV1K rotors, would I still have the offset issues that Jan mentioned?

 

Well I already got a good deal on the 1000 forks/calipers/master, I've had the brake lines for a while waiting to be installed, and I'm getting a great deal on the srad wheel/rotors. In addition I don't like the mismatch wheel look that comes from a newer gsxr wheel.

 

do the fork upper diameters match? SRAD isn't listed in the image on the first page.

 

Srad is 50/54

 

Excellent! Thank you.
Now, do you know what rear shock makes a good conversion? I've heard the Kaw ZX10 works, but I'm not sure which years for my 2006. Any GSXR's that will fit?
Many thanks. Ken.

 

06-07 ZX-10 or ZX-14 rear shocks work best (depending on your weight) since they are slightly longer then the stock shock. Some of the GSXR shocks will fit but they are shorter and you lose shock travel.
