Why the R6 forks?

The R6 forks aren't Lee's doing. It was the previous owner that did that.

Why the R6 forks?

Because they work.

+1, they do work and it's almost a straight swap.  The GSXR forks everyone likes makes a stiff front end for a frame made of crushed coke cans.
Either way, I crashed at 120mph, folded the forks but they frame remained straight.


And they're "Cheap as Chips"

Swap yamaha front is same as GSXR.  Just didn't there was something special i wasn't aware of about the R6 forks.

Haha Without question the greatest answer ever! "Because they work".

Cowboy is correct. The R6 forks work very well on the SV. Arguably a better option than the GSXR forks.

Lots of forks work tho.  Putting gsxr carts in stock forks work fantastic.  Just don't see many r6 swaps.  That is all.
