Saw a local craigslist posting for a guy parting out his 96 GSXR 750 but he has a TL1000R front end on it. Would this be on par with the 750 front end of the same vintage? I might be able to get the whole setup for a song but dont want to waste money if its not a substantial upgrade over stock. I looked through the new swap guild but there wasnt too much info on the TL fork.

I put a 99' TL1000R frontend on my 04 sv650 no bearing changes. It was made for the SV, but I do NOT have a steering lock or stops !! The swap has been working very well for almost a year now and has been halfway around Texas with no problems . By the way you can make almost anything work with a little inginuity, but this one is a no brainer !!!
