From experience I can only comment that I used early R1 forks. You have to swap the centre stems and fit a spacer under the top yoke but you get to retain the blue spot calipers from the 600 (ideal if you are on a budget). The other problem I know that others have had is that modern big sports bikes seem to have very short forks so you will need to check the length.
The downside is that your rev counter will show an error code due to lack of speedo drive but if you fit an aftermarket dash and take a feed from the coils themselves instead of the standard dash wiring you can eliminate this. There is talk of the TPS not functioning properly but I found fitting a Nikko G pack ignition unit boosted the power (it may of eliminated the TPS problem, but the difference in power loss if it actually does would not be really noticable)
