Plenty of info to be found on front end conversions, so there are a couple of known swaps.
Which way are you going?

hey Gordo, yeah mate still on the stands....as soon as triples arrive ill get the stem and bearings sorted..should have an axle by then and ill whip them on and invest in a front stand...lol
not a bad find.. US$99 + US$65 postage....AUD at the time was $0.93 so didn't work out too bad

Well triples turned up, rather quickly i might add...Stem swap, and some bearing adjustments.... Still a long way to go..Callipers, Wheel, Fender, Risers, Rotors...but getting there none the less...Happy with the look

Not too familiar with GSXR front end swaps, so hope it all works out. I know there are a few hiccups with them.

IMHO a stubby on the RHS to leave the SSSA exposed so all can see it's full and naked beauty.
If you do twin cans and don't mount them real high you will obscure the SSSA and thus I would ask whether all that work just to hide it was worthwhile?
Or maybe something in between? A single stubby, mounted up high over the wheel . . . .

I've loooove to do something like that orange one. I've got low-mount stainy's at the moment and it looks tough as nails but i've always preferred the underslung shorty type single..

Great looking build mate. My 2cents - I like the duel exhausts - maybe stubby duels? Good luck!

Stubby duels would be tough, but im a little worried the stubbies might make it look like theres to much piping? (headers to can?) get me?

Mmmm nah I don't think so. Just MHO.
But you could get a CBR1000RR high mount . . .

I reckon that Swinger is off a Fireblade - 1000RR. Hence the gap allowing for the exhaust routing.
And yes that would be a an Undertail as per previous post . . .

That was my first guess Matt, but all pics i have of the RR's they look somewhat different? unless it was limited to a specific model?
this one i think could be a serious contender to the SSSA? im liking it....
hmmmmm more time needed on google i think......
