Fork retrofit

The following components seem to be pretty weak in terms of performance on the Ninja 300, in order according to my perception:

1. Front Brake Calipers
2. Front Brake Rotors
3. Front Forks
4. Front Wheels
5. Front Triple Clamps

Seems like this would be handled by a nice retrofit, perhaps from the 600 class bikes. What are some examples that seem to work? Getting a set of triples to accommodate would be one challenge... preferably adjustable offset.

The brakes suck only if you use them.

Compare steering stem bearing dimesions from donor bike and yours and that might clarify the triple clamp issue. IIRC from a members busa front end swap, he mentioned using 250r bearing paired with a busa front end will bolt on. The 300 and 250r utilize same bearing.

Found this useful "Find Fork Conversion Bearings" on the all balls website. Very useful data.

Great... although that seems like an odd one, I will look into it.
