Some of the issues with using inverted forks comes with changes in geometry (rake and trail).

Rich Desmond from Sonic Springs usually advises SV racers not to go with a GSXR front end due to the changes that adversely affect handling.

I raced a EX/Ninja 500 back in the day, and even adding a fork brace changed the handling due to the way it shifted the flexing from the forks to different areas of the front end and frame.

Just something else to consider.
