    They're on the Suzuki SV650s we bought but I'm almost certain they're not SV forks.

    Anyone?.

    They look stock to me except someone has gone at them with a polishing mop.
    Stick some antiseize on the pinch bolts before they weld themselves in to the leg though!

    Yea the polish is a bit messy. But I can't find fork legs on SV photos which are anyway similar to these.

    Replaced the brake pads, overhauled the calipers (which was in a mess). Pulled out the carbs and cleaned those plus replaced both throttle cables plus choke cable.

    They aren't VTR forks, VTR ones have another band of aluminium above the bottom where they reinforce the top mount for the brake caliper.

    Just to confirm, CJHaughey was correct.. They're SV forks.
