I'm looking to update the forks on my bike as its cheaper than getting them re-chromed. Has anyone done this or anything similar? What would i need to know before starting with this? Thanks.

I believe the most common conversion is to a 636 front end... But don't quote me on that.

yup. 636 front end is the easiest conversion. it means you can use the std yokes, front wheel, brake discs and speedo drive etc. if your doing a tl front end swap you will need a complete front including the front wheel and then have to find a way of sorting out a speedo.

Ok thanks for the info guys only asked about the TL because a friend told me pretty much any Suzuki is interchangeable. I seen some cheap TL forks on ebay but now i think i'll look for the 636. Any particular year or does it matter? By the way stripes lovely bike.

Digging up an oldie here, but am I right in saying you'd just need to source the forks and calipers for this to work?
I assume a kawasaki 636?
