I think you need to consider the disc diameter on the front wheel if you are using the Gen1 forks,  as the Gen1 Discs have 6 bolt fixing and 298mm Diameter vs 5 bolt on Gen2 and 310/320mm Diameter discs as standard. So the caliper won't be allow the larger discs of the Gen2.

Yes I was hoping to keep the original forks as personally I don't find anything wrong with them, sounds like this could get expensive!

I'm running 99 R1 forks and  ended up sourcing caliper spacers from a company in the US, they were fairly expensive at £170 but allows me to run 230mm disc.
I spoke a few UK companies that used to make the spacers but none were willing to machine anymore.
