Has anyone tried replacing the front forks and rear swing arm from a euro cb seven fifty to get the better brakes?

Thats actually one of the things that i had wanted to do. It should just bolt up but im not sure if it would be available in the u.s. so it might be high priced because of shipping for the complete front end with the rim.

I was thinking of just finding the two forks overseas and bolting them up to the nighthawk triple. The wheels and brakes look like cbr600 f2 parts that should be easy to find here in the U.S. The rear swing arm should be an easy swap. The hardest part is probably the mounting tab for the rear master cylinder. The forks and rear swing arm are on ebay England on a regular basis for reasonable prices, but I'm not sure about shipping yet.

Well be sure to post the links if you find the front forks. As for the rear swing arm, im mounting a 600F4 swingarm on the back of mine. I'm putting a ohlins rear center shock for the track and it will take only slight modification with a welder only for the center shock and it should bolt up to the frame.

With the euro swingarm it might be a little harder since you might have to switch out the pedal to a pressure pedal for hydaulic rear brakes. I hope that the euro will also fit the 600F4 controls but if not then ill have to fabricate some. I plan on changing to foot pegs also.
