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.:idk: 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. :lol:

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

:lol: 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.

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