Yes you can upgrade it, and from I've read, it is a substantial improvement and it sounds like you're getting a hell of a deal on a front end. You will need wheel spacers and you will need to machine the stock triple clamps to make the holes just slightly bigger. You can take the clamps to anyone with a machine shop along with the forks from the R6 and they should be able to hook you up for a reasonable price. Also, the spacers can be bought from some dude on the SV forum. If you want to keep the stock handlebars you'll need to machine those out as well. I would post the link to the SV forum tutorial, but I'm lazy and they have a search button for you. Edit: This swap is just swapping out the forks/brakes/wheel. You keep the stock triple clamps (and handlebars if you want), and machine them out like 2mm. It keeps the stock ride height of the bike, unlike the GSXR swap, and its not blatantly obvious you swapped the forks like when you do the GSXR swap. The RSU R6 forks are less good than the GSXR forks, but they are hugely better than the stocker SV forks. Hope this helps.
