Here's an answer for you:

Be aware that keeping the 19" front wheel with modern triples will give you a lot of trail as pointed out by Chuck78.
It's not bad in itself but the bike will be more reluctant to turn quickly.
In my opinion, the best fork combo would be to use R1 triples or Vstrom triples with eitheir GSXR 11K or Bandit 1200 fork legs with the adapters described above.
I still have the caliper adapters if you are interested?
