'89-90 ZX7 full front-end was pretty straightforward to adapt. However that leaves you clip-ons, so I went with a superbike kit (replace top triple clamp). Some threads out there about this, lemme check...

if you dont care to spend some extra cash and find a good machinest you can pretty much make most superbike front ends work by swaping the seering stems. the only reason i went this route is because i want a front end that noone else was running and want somthing real new. i am running a complete 2005 zzr1200 kawasaki front end.

the next project i am going to go with the inverted forks... i love the agresive streetfighter look it gives area old Z's

Im running a busa/tlr1000 front end with the six piston joints and all upside down and what not. The steering stem was a little short so I pressed it out and turned down the stop so it would set a little higher in the lower triple, that and a set of kz tappered bearings and bada boom bada bing.

Can you guys tell me about fork length issuse? Do these forks lower the frontend,?How much roughly? How did you deal with this ? I just got some zx12 forks and it looks like I'm going to be about 3" lower.
