You'd need the yokes as well and some serious modding to the headstock which is going to bump up the cost. When finished, it would give a very "**** up, heads down" look to the bike and would really screw up the handling. Stopping, sorry, slowing would take longer as well .
On the plus side, you've only got one pair of brake pads to buy and tyres would be cheaper
Go for it!!

and if you fitted the speedo sensor to the front wheel it would look like you're going twice as fast.

Good point, you'd also have to use the clocks off a Vespa PX....yet more expense
This is going to turn into quite a project for you

I could do the rear wheel speedo drive mod though! So apart from that, all pretty easy you think? I figure I can use the controls off this

and that should all match up pretty easily if I hit it enough with a massive hammer...
