Converting an LTD to a cafe racer which front end would work the best. I found that the GSXR was to pricey so here I am again. Thanks for the other input.

Zx6r is a commen swap. Shorter in length but some support for off the shelf parts. ZX9R are the closet in length.

Front forks, not shocks, shocks are on the rear. By the sound of things you want a bolt on conversion, no such thing without spending a lot of money. If you're looking for any front end, you need to match bearings, possibly change the stem, axle differences, front wheel spacers, speedo drive, and sort out steering stops, not to mention getting acceptable offset and trail. If you don't have fabrication skills, this can also become expensive, just use the front end on the bike you have until you're ready and informed enough to do all the work.
