I have an FZS600 that I'm looking at throwing some USD forks onto. The most common way is to throw in either R6 or R1 forks but they seem to be rare as rocking horse poo so I'll probably end up having to replace the whole front end. I hear that milling the triple clamp to take the wider forks is a WOF / certification failure as it weakens the yoke. Was wondering if there was anyone in NZ that makes custom yokes?

fi engineering in hamilton but he's just had an op so unlikely to be working, stev will be able to point you in the right direction though

looking for one myself, with raisers mounted.
The Honda option is good cheap but hard to mount bars to... I wonder what the cost is?

I could prolly do it as long as you have all the specs you want
