Thinking of adding a 400 zxr front forks, discs, wheel and calipers.
And a 400 zxr rear wheel,disc & caliper to a gsx1100 swinging arm at the rear.
Any thoughts, problems??
Also any gsx swinging arms available ??
I want to keep the twin shock look.

zxr400 forks are too short, you will be dragging your exhaust on the ground unless you are fitting stepped yokes to compensate.
Even zxr750 forks will make the bike sit very low.
Jacking the back end up as some do to restore some ground clearance will create a tankslapping deathtrap at 100mph+.
ZX9R-B forks are the ones to go for.

Thanks for the info re ZXR400 forks, I'll look for 900 forks then. I'm glad I asked. :D
