Got tired of searching so I figured I would just go ahead and ask...

I know it can be done, yamaha_chop has one on his build but what has to be done in order to fit a sport bike front end to a xs650 frame? Does the year matter? What bike it comes off of? modifications that need to be done?

Thanks in advance

Like this one?

Go to all balls website

There is no way I'm going to google that.

After the link from the other, soon to be famous, thread... I figured what can it hurt to google it.

I machined upper and lower triple clamps and just used the stock steering stem. I had to lengthen it a touch. Zx636r forks.

That is bad ass looking! I am wanting to do a frot end swap and use stock front brakes and mag wheel but I do not know if I will be able to pull this off.

As has been said, you can just about fit anything to anything. Currently I'm building a road special,
Suzuki GS750 frame
Yamaha Thundercat engine
Suzuki Bandit wheels
Radiator + oil cooler off Yam FZR1000.
This involves some fairly major frame surgery to get the carbs to fit.

Any progress? This is exactly what I'm looking to do! Gsxr forks with stock spoke wheel and modern brakes. I'm looking for a little direction.
