they are all about the same to fit,a stem swap and you are there.
gsxr's are plentiful but usually a little short.
zx900 are supposed to be the closest to stock length,but not as plentiful.
seems that the zx636 front ends have been popular lately but does lower the bike in the front.looks awesome with the 5 spoke wheels tho.zx10 would be nice.

you choose :P .

This should be moved to chassis, but it's up so I'll bite.

Early 90's FZR1000 USD forks swap with just a bearing change. But you didn't hear that from me. Will be a bit shorter than stock. Might try swapping to an 18" wheel to make up for some of that though.

Apologies to the original poster who started this thread, and whose message was unintentionally deleted. :(

Am uncertain, but thinking the initial message was posted by mitchell14, as follows:

I am wondering what zx and gsxr sizes and years are the simplest and easiest swap/fit for the 80 kz1000.

Thank you for any input
