2007 SV650: Project better late than never

[V1GiLaNtE]

Home Depot Racing for the win! That front end looks right at home. Are there any modifications out there for the turn signals? They look a little out of place just poking off either side.

I could go to smaller LEDs, but it's discussed many times that they are MUCH harder to see during the day. I have seen guys trim them down, but for now I'll leave them.

So what's the short long of what you did and what the benefits are?

Complete front end swap from a 04/05 GSXR-600/750. What do I get?

• Bigger fork sanctions (41mm stock vs 51mm GSXR) so the front end is more solid
  
• Giant stepup in suspension adjustment (Stock is only preload vs GSXR has preload, rebound, and compression dampening)
  
• Now the front can be tuned with the rear ZX10R shock I have (preload, rebound, compression) for a dialed in suspension
  
• MASSIVE upgrade in braking power
  
• Radial brakes for improved braking feel
  
• 120/70 vs 120/60 front tire for better turn in
  
• Bling factor
  
• Overall for the street it's mostly bling, but as a track weapon it's going to handle like it's on rails
  
• Being it's in the Suzuki family I keep the factory location for the ignition as well as my steering lock (good luck bike bandits) making it a 90% bolt on upgrade sans the gauge and headlight mount. You re-use all of the stock SV650 controls except for the GSXR radial brake cylinder.
