    WTB: front end upgrade for 1st gen sv

    hey there, my current front end setup from a ducati 748 is proving to be problematic as far as geometry goes. im considering going the gsxr direction with things. anyone have a complete front end to swap onto an sv? keep in mind im not rich, and im just seeing whats out there to see if its worth the change. i'll need wheel, rotors, calipers, forks. i have triples that should work.

    shoot

    If you can find a complete front end. (triple,wheel, rotors, forks etc) for under $1k that's a good deal. Find it without a wheel for under $500-700 that's also a good deal.
    Also look for TL front ends. They go a little cheaper but are very good and I'm pretty sure you can drop ohlins internal in those.
    Your final option(s) is a stock or worked sv front end. I think gmd can put zx6 internals in sv forks, but don't quote me on that. A well sorted stock front end (race tech etc) is also good and still cheaper than 2 gsxr front ends.
