    As long as it's a Suzuki front end that you have to go in, then the center stem can be pressed out of the standard bottom triple, and will go in the new one. Take the bottom triple clamps to any decent engineering workshop and do the rest yourself.

    Would pay to consider the legal fallout.
    You perhaps might argue that it is changing the dampers, but if this change for example required different calipers etc it would require a LVV certificate.

    Wouldn't the money be better aimed at some emulators? And a re-oil /heavier spring for the woefully soft rear?
    We stiffened up the springs both ends of a mates and it was much betterer.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I've never seen it brought up, and I've done a couple conversions myself.
