Cool!

Wish I had the beans for one.

What did it take to adapt the front end?

Beautiful, a buddy of mine has an 06 and it's one of my favorite bikes

that is a killer bike very very envious mate

It didnt take too much to get it on there. A little trial and error and learning curve for myself. Needed a custom bearing found on some suzuki racing site. and a spacer for the bottom bearing. other than that just the necessary bits.

Oh man, that's PRETTY!

How's it ride comparatively to the stock setup? Any more noticeable fatigue from weight on your arms etc?

The bike is ALOT more nimble than stock. THe wheels helped a ton as i did that initially before the suspension swap. But with the new suspension it is quite awesome through the twisties. Much quicker and easier to run through the corners. Now time for power.
As far as fatigue - its just a hair worse than stock for me. I lost the one offset clipons when i went to straight clipons and then i lost some more height when i went with the new forks. I can only do about 50-60 miles before i need ot take a break. Luckily i have an airhead beamer for the long rides.

I'm sorry, but inverted forks ruin the classic look of this bike. if it handles better with them and you like them, rock on. Great bike no matter what. If you're ever close to the KC area and wanna trade it for a cb750k let me know
