I would like to know some information on converting the front end on a Suzuki SV650S to a Suzuki GSX-R. Do you convert it from the GSX-R 600, 750, or 1000? Is it expensive? What effects does it have to the SV650S? What exactly are you changing from stock to the GSX-R? etc. etc. I don't know what else to ask. Please add any extra information that you know of. Thanks.
 
My brother mounted TL1000R forks on his sv650, fork swaps usually require a custom made steering stem and often the steering stops need to be modified. I would think the 600 or 750 would work well both weigh roughly the same as an SV so the spring rate should work ok. If you have a naked bike you will need to come up with a headlight mounting bracket. A decent machine shop should be able to make the steering stem if you show them the GSXR stem/triple clamps and the SV stem and explain what you want, will probably cost $100-150 to get made.
