I doubt you're missing the feasibility, more the price of forks of a brand new bike! Well spotted though bud!
No no no, they are 41mm USD forks, not right way up. More like 50/52mm up top where the yokes are. So you'd also need different yokes & front wheel and blah blah blahOnly 41mm Thundercat and TRX850 forks swap over relatively easily AFAIK

But with forks the same size, it could fit the Fazer well. All I was suggesting was that MT front ends may be worth considering instead of R1 etc.

Stop digging and admit defeat. .
