I'm glad I found this topic...
I was pretty dead set on upgrading my front end to a GL1000 front end until I read this.
Other than the dual discs, would the 2mm fatter front forks offer that much more of an improvement to warrant the added $$$ of swapping on a GL1000 front end? Id much rather rebuild what I have and add a fork brace and steering damper (with racetech internals) and leave that extra $$$ i'd spend on the conversion parts, top triple, gauge mount, etc for other aspects of the bike.
Can anyone weigh in?
