Just came across this, it's a ridiculous deal for a complete gsxr front end

$250+ shipping for a complete gsxr1000 front end. I'd definitely consider it if I was holding on to my bike longer, but I rarely see people piece together a whole front end for less than $500, so I thought I'd pass it along.

I see the new type FE's for about that $ often.
They need more machine work to fit a GS. I like kat FE's especially 600's just for this reason.
BTW a new GSXR FE also will break if you crash.
A kat fe will more than likely bend before breaking and a 600 kat FE with 600 upper triple is very very unlikely to bend the frame of a GS. You really want the FE bending before the frame and you dont want it breaking off cos that would pitch the bike's engine cradle and frame into the ground if you were upright at that point.
Ideally in a front on crash you want the wheel to bend, then the FE then the frame ... and the idiotic 3 spoke mags the GS has, dont predictably bend, they are easy to bend in the part between the spokes, but impossible to bend @ the spokes. They should have put those 6 or 8 spoke wheels on the thing but made it light and soft enough to bend under severe impact.
Cool.

I checked them out for a while back when I was thinking about swapping. I'd see the forks and maybe triple clamps going for that amount, but never the whole deal with the wheel, brakes, controls, clipons.

I'm having a hard time picturing a front end crash hard enough to snap the front end of the bike and me actually staying on the bike for it to matter. I know the triples on the XB are specifically made to break first just to try to keep the frame damage to a minimum. It's a lot easier to replace broken forks than it is a bent/cracked frame.

You can easily stay upright ... like the genius that overshot the corner mounted the sidewalk and into the wet soppy red north carolina clay on a near new SV 1K all the while staying on the gas and perfectly straight up and down.
Apparently the clown left the bike there stuck in the mud, went home to get a truck strapped the rear wheel to it and pulled it out. The guy said it came out of the mud with a POP sound like when you open a can of cranberry sauce and tip it out. Only damage - bent forks and wheel. He said, the mud seemed to like bake on the thing but literally fell off as he touched the chunks. 
Cool.
