Good Day,
I am building a new race bike and want better brakes then my currant ride XB12 with upgrade rotor mounting hardware and 8 piston caliper.. Depending on the track I am racing on they work great for a lap or two but get hot and fade quickly... I change fluid often...
So I am looking at putting a set for GSXR forks on the new bike... Problem is there seems to be no easy swap..
I can have new triples made and bolt in the forks... {Big money} or try to change the stem?? not sure if the Buell stem will fit in the GSXR triples ? and not sure I want to tackle that one..
So here is my Question? Can you install just the lower legs from the GSXR in the Buell forks? Looks like some years have the same fork seal but cant seem to find any other information about this swap?
Any help would be nice Thanks
 
There is an 1125 with R1 forks floating around somewhere. Also the newer EBR use same forks as import manufactures with different bottoms so if you get 1125 or 1190 triples... Hypothetically the forks will slide right in.

XB are 41/43/47 depending on what model/year
1125 are 47mm

OD fork tube is 54mm

If you google this you'll find all of it as well
