Has anyone tried to fit a late model GSXR front end on a tube frame? I can pick one up pretty cheap and thought that it wouldn't be too difficult but I have been wrong before.

That was my thought. To buy the Buell duel disc set up and switch over to usd forks would cost about $1500.00. I can get the entire GSXR set up including the wheel for $350.00.

No experience with it, but financially it makes sense. And a lot of the gixxer wheels look similar to the tuber wheels (non-PM)

There might be some machining involved for the neck bearings etc, I dont know, but it'd stil come out for less than half the other option (1500)

this one has a Honda front end, so I'd say you can make anything fit.

A shop on Ebay sells a fork conversion for Buells to GSXR.

I saw some of the XB guys at Laguna last couple years used GSXR Showa Lowers on the Buell forks to get the Gix dual discs.Direct bolt on.
