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 blah
Only 41mm Thundercat and TRX850 forks swap over relatively easily AFAIK
Yeah, I realise you'd need all that - hence why I mentioned the 120 wheel. 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.

Only thing they've got in common in terms of swapping Christo is they're both made by Yamaha - get a custom stem made (any machine shop can do it for about £30 odd) and you can fit whatever you want really.
The 41mm is stanchion size - not where they bolt into the yokes on the MT
