Default Upgrading curvy suspension?

Apoligies in advance for starting a thread on something that's probably been done to death on here. I did search, but just want to be 100% sure before shelling out

I've come across a complete '97 SRAD 750 front end for €370, or £320 to you British folk.

Am I right in thinking this is the easiest front end conversion out there?

Probably matched with an '04 ZX636 rear shock, they're going for around €60 on fleabay....

Good deal or should I go for something else?

Thanks

That seems reasonable

You'll also need a top head bearing from TWF racing and a set of TL1000S clipons if you want to keep it similar.

What you you mean by similar?

I didn't even know the SRAD clip-ons would work, had assumed I'd have to change 'em for TL ones.

They can drag cables on stock fairing and be a bit low and uncomfy
