Front End

Guys, I finally got my new (old) bike back on the road, I just tuned the 1075 engine and it tears. I put an old kossman swingarm on it and it lays down the nastiest burnout ive ever experienced on a bike. Now it would be really cool if i could stop and maybe handle a lil better! I am considering a fork/front end swap. My objective is to 1. handle btter
2. stop better
3. look better (rake it out just a pinch if possible (in the trees)

I have access to alot of old bike parts etc.... what is the easiest or most convenient swap (direct bolt on or close to) year make and model please. And if possible id love to keep my spoke rims on the bike

Might help to post what Year/Make/Model bike you have

freshly converted zx900 trees for a kz.
putting rake in old trees may not be feasible.

its a 78 kz1000

rebuild stock one!

I have no problem with the stock one. Just thinking a ewer one may be cool. Any recomendations/tips for the rebuild

My objective is to
1. handle better
A.gusset frame (all of the following need this as a prerequisite)
B.modern front end (reduces fork flex,rake &trail)
C. modern dual shock, rear end (stiffer arm,better shocks)
D. Mono rear end (reduces frame flex, more,cheaper, shock options )

2. stop better
Modern dual piston cals, and master cyl.

3. look better (rake it out just a pinch if possible (in the trees)
rake will only help a week frame.
