New front forks/triple trees.

[CCC-TT]

Ive seen at various places online of people putting the triple trees and front forks off of crotch rockets and some harleys on the front of their older jap bikes.
I've only seen pictures, not much reading but I liked the way some of them looked.

-Is this possible with our bikes? (1980 gs550l, specifically)

-If it is possible, what year/model bikes will work and what are your opinions on this as a modification?

Thanks

Got the answer I was looking for.

Still. Any opinions on this type of modification?

I need new forks so I figure if I'm already spending money I might as well go all out with it.

Most newer Suzuki front ends are more or less a bolt on - 90's vintage Katana, Bandit, GSXR all will work with minor mods

Ive found a few online but all differ on pricing. Any input as to what a reasonable price I should be expecting to pay to go this route? Also, any pictures anybody has of setup like this would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am also looking to go this route with a 1980 gs550L. Could you pass the information on to me for the forks and tripple trees you are looking to use?

89' -97' katana or gsx600/750 or, I believe one other model that I think starts with a "B" but i cant recall right now. Though there may be others. For a complete setup Ive seen around $600, thats including wheel, brakes, forks, trees, etc.

93-95 GSXR 1100 are a direct bolt up on alot of our bikes. I have a 93 on mine
