First, I'd doing some research and find out if there is a thickness or size difference between the rotors and I would check to see if there is a difference in overall "width" between the inner/outer edges of the rotors on the wheel. Sometimes you have to shim different parts to make these kinds of swaps work. You may have to shim the rotors out so they don't ride on the inside pads of the caliper. If the rotors are larger in diameter, you may have to shim the caliper "out" to compensate.

Ideally, this should have been done before you tried to set your rotors on fire.

You could always just get a GSXR front wheel...

And GSXR calipers...

(And GSXR master cylinder, motor, seat, fairing, frame and, well, a GSXR)

Shit I figured that he had GSXR calipers since I don't know if SV calipers would fit on GSXR forks... I guess they might....

I don't know either, and I'm not looking it up.

I wonder if someone could just figure out a way to spoon a SV1000 motor into a GSXR chassis.... That might make for a cool bike.

Or, he could just buy a TLR, and call it a day.

Maybe OSP will sell him his... Although, I never liked that rotary shock thing they had going... I rode my buddy's at the track and never felt comfortable. It might be just me though....
