Not sure if anyone already knows some different fork options. That are compatible with a KZ1000G.

I don't believe any of the newer USD forks are a bolt-on affair. They all take work in one form or another.

There are many threads to what your asking, some detailed, some, not so much. Some easy, some, not so much, but there is always an answer to a question. You can do anything you want! You want quality? you want cheap? you want pretty? You want fast? Each one has a price, what's the budget?
Not trying to be cold, just factual!

OMR has a nice right up for a conversion, very detailed! It's a thread that many should look at before deciding such an adventure! I say that because he addressed many problems and how he overcame them, most don't! There are "bolt on conversions" but you still have other issues that you have to work with. I do bolt on conversions for folks and I for one will tell you that it isn't a "just buy these parts and be done"! Just be prepared to do some work and thinking for yourself!

If more detail is needed, PM me!
