!7in wheel/suspension for 78 z1000

I want to put modern suspension on my 78 Z1000a2. I would prefer to use upside down forks, and use the GSX swingarm I currently have fitted to my old girl. Any one have any surgestions what works. I live in New Zealand so not a lot of aftermarket stuff really available locally.Any ideas would be appreciated.
Regards Petez1

Pete,

Did you do a search on here? There are a lot of guys doing swaps, so its been covered a bunch of times. Normally the older oil cooled Gsxr stuff works good up front. Do a search and you'll find you answers.
