Well I just happened into a set of free gsxr forks, and am contemplating putting them on my M2. I have seen quite a few pics of buells/harleys with the gsxr forks. Has anyone done the swap before? What all would it take to swap them over? Thanks, Spencer |

Better forks, Looks better and better fender, dual brake setup, don't need to buy clip ons or crossroads, plus it had a custom top triple tree with built in mount for a vrod headlight which is what putting up front. |

I think its an awesome idea, as you said, should be better suspension (assuming its newer than the tubers) |

Unless they are from 1988. That would probably not be an upgrade... There are some Suzuki front wheels that are close in design, three spokes and all that. Might need to have a machine shop make a new steering head post if they don't match up, or even press it out of the old triples and press in to the Suzook triple. |

Ok you want to use the fork legs and triples and wheel you have from a gxser correct? So you will need to press out the old gxser post and press in the buell post. And you are done Now if you are using the buell wheel you may need custom spacers or need to machine it down adjusting the axle accordingly |
