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. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BUELL-CYCLONE-2002-/120 771635690?pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item1c1e8ce9ea |

A shop on Ebay sells a fork conversion for Buells to GSXR. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GSXR-Conversion-Billet-For k-Yokes-Buell-/230341381373?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts &hash=item35a16a8cfd#ht_600wt_1110 |

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. |
