Today I finally decided to start the process of grafting suspension components off various superbikes onto my 2003 SV650. A few months ago I was lucky enough to acquire 2 nearly complete GSXR1000 front ends and they have just been taking up space since. My girlfriend finally gave me an ultimatum that she was going to throw it all away if I didn’t clear it off the deck.

Got the rear shock off of a ZX10R installed already.

And got done removing everything that’s getting replaced.

There were some “special tools” I didn’t have that required improvisation

Kinja'd!!!

And in the end here is the pile of stuff that won’t be going back on.

Kinja'd!!!

Also, bearings suck...

Kinja'd!!!

And I need to figure out a way to seat the bearings races into the frame as well, but that’s a problem for tomorrow.
