I'm using the forks from a '02 EX500 Ninja on my CL360. This swap may not be as sexy as a USD, but going from 33mm fork tubes to 37mm and to a decent single disk brake is a good upgrade for a 360 that's going to be ridden. With a bearing kit from All Balls it's a direct bolt-up. As-is the Ninja parts will all work but the top clamp and bars are usually hidden under body work, so when it's bare, out in the light of day, the Kawi set up is butt ugly. I had a new triple made and I put a spacer in the tubes to lower things down an inch.

1996 GSXR1100 on a 1981 Honda GL500. I actually had to use a Honda GL1200 triple because the GSXR1100 stem would not fit, with the 1200 triple it is the same 41mm diameter and I can use the All Balls bearings to slide it in. The front wheel is off of a early GSXR or Katana not are I found them in the side of the road. The wheel does have Suzuki cast on one of the spokes.

Sorry not the best pic.

[jag767]

1972 cb450 (kinda, it has a 2014 cbr500r motor) with a 2007 sv1000 front end.

Just doing some research for the next build, came across this thread.

Might be of use to future fellow builders?

Mine was a R1 forks with GSXR triple clamps,Triumph Tiger 800 front wheel and discs, modified spacers and spindle with a set of Honda Nissin calipers of a VFR800, on custom mounts...........I like a challenge ;D ;D

 

[Ply318ci]

Suzuki TL1000S front end on a 1972 Suzuki GT750 (someone had already swapped out the 4LS front end for a 1974 dual disk front end). Was a simple All Balls steering head bearing swap.

I swapped my 1981 Yamaha Virago XV750 38mm forks for a 2001 TL1000R 50mm forks. with a virago rear rim conversion for the front rim. first pic is stock front end and the next two are after the swap

 

[erock85]

What front wheel are you using? And what size? I would live to do a similar swap on my 82 cb750 but didn't think I could run a spoked wheel.

Sorry just saw this.
It is a Harley "Narrow Glide" wheel, I believe '04+ The ones that use a 1" bearing/axle combo.
It's 19", not sure the tire size right now, maybe 90/90/19

 

[Rat_ranger]

Still have to make an upper triple clamp, but 2012 zx6 forks and lower triple with a custom stem, hub is a modified cb550f, with ducati rotor lining up on the yamaha caliper.
