Gixxer 1000 Big Piston Forks.

Have you measured the length and diameter of the gsxr forks?
As long as they slide in the triple clamps and aren't too long they'll work.
Possibly triple clamps interchange?? I don't know, but doubt it.
Spring rate is less also, as C10 mentioned.
If you need to change Springs, or fork seals, you're gonna need a rod guide case wrench to open the fork internals, after removing the fork caps.
That's a very expensive wrench too.
$250 U.S from Suzuki, and still over half that from the few places I've found that make them.

Well there are a lot of issues with that swap. First is a complete re-damping and springs. Then I'm not sure the brake calipers are a straight swap or triple clamps and length, etc. Finding a good set of Gen 2 forks can't be that hard. Sell the BPF's and get some OEM Gen 2's.

I was thinking he was going to use the wheel and calipers too.
I doubt the wheel and brakes interchange.
